Smolnice: Hotels and Accommodation

In Smolnice, the surviving heritage ranges from the Neolithic period to Neorenaissance architecture.

Culture and History

The first written mention of Kostel sv. Bartoloměje dates from 1355. The church’s present form probably dates back to a reconstruction around 1700; in Smolnice, it is an immovable cultural monument. The cemetery around Kostel sv. Bartoloměje also contains a sarcophagus of the Lukáš family, designed by A. Wiehl in 1878.

The Baroque courtyard in Smolnice associated with Antonín Wiehl was remodelled in Neorenaissance forms in 1886. Its features include sgraffiti based on designs by Mikoláš Aleš, a relief frieze by Josef Václav Myslbek, and casts of two Myslbek medallions. Wiehlova vila is also part of this architectural context: it was built as a Neorenaissance villa in 1898 and features sgraffiti, four large ceramic medallions with antique motifs, and a richly carved wooden balcony.

The history of the area stretches back even further. Smolnice is home to a Neolithic settlement of the Linear Pottery culture; finds from this culture have been documented throughout the municipality. On 23 May 1420, several thousand mounted soldiers and infantrymen from the areas around Louny, Žatec and Slaný gathered at Táborec near Smolnice before setting out together for Prague.

Nature and Trails

Smolnice lies on the boundary of Přírodní park Džbán, designated in 1994. A green-marked hiking trail passes through the village, connecting Vinařice, Smolnice and Brloh. Public transport in Smolnice is based on bus services; the routes are established, and the stops cover the built-up part of the village.

Music and Events

The “Hudba ve Smolnici” concert series offers regular concerts featuring classical and sacred music by Czech and international composers. The traditional public afternoon festival Pichlovanka was scheduled to take place at the Smolnice Cultural Centre on 7 June 2026.
