Kovalovice: Hotels and Accommodation

In Kovalovice, historic sites, marked cycling routes and water-based activities come together. Stará Pošta in particular is closely associated with the history of the Battle of Austerlitz: the preserved historic post station was established in 1785 as a relay station between Brno and Vyškov.

Culture and History

At Stará Pošta, visitors can tour the restored interiors of the post station and a small museum exhibition. The village district is also home to the so-called Ruská kaplička. It was allegedly built in 1851 by a Russian noblewoman after the Napoleonic Wars; it is presumed that one or two of her relatives, officers of the Russian nobility, are buried there. The chapel was restored in 1995.

The Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul stands on the site of a former bell tower dating from 1826. The former fortress complex from the mid-16th century is also part of the village's history. It was later used as a manor farm, school and inn, and today houses the Na Tvrzi restaurant and a cultural institution. Petropavlovské hody is a regularly held tradition in Kovalovice and includes a traditional field mass.
