Skalice: Hotels and accommodations

Skalice Castle was built at the beginning of the 19th century on the site of the former St. Vitus Chapel as an Empire-style building with a chapel wing arranged around a rectangular courtyard. It served as a summer residence for the Lords of Bítov. Since 1954, the castle has housed a retirement home.

The medieval center of Skalice around today’s castle is designated as a UAN-2 area with archaeological finds. The granary in Skalice dates from the early 19th century and is a prominent landmark of the region. The chapel on the hill above Skalice dates from the second quarter of the 19th century. A statue of Saint John of Nepomuk from the late 18th century stands at the new bell tower; a second statue of the same saint is located on the Class II road west of Skalice.

The Skalička stream flows through Skalice. Skalice Castle Park lies along the stream and was designed as an English landscape park. A 35-meter-tall London plane tree stands there.

The Skalické kopečky are botanically significant sites of dry steppe grasslands. In addition to the highly endangered large-flowered pasque flower, they are also home to numerous species on the Red List.

The vintage car meeting Sraz veteránů in Skalica is held regularly on the grounds of Selský dvůr Skalice.
