Snědovice: Hotels and Accommodation

Snědovice lies in the valley of the Obrtka stream, in a traditionally agricultural landscape. The Kokořínsko–Máchův kraj Protected Landscape Area includes the municipality of Snědovice in the Ústí nad Labem Region.

Landscape

The traditional livelihoods of the people of Snědovice included agriculture, hop growing, fruit growing, livestock farming and beekeeping. A small English-style park was laid out next to Snědovice Chateau in the first half of the 19th century. The chateau park preserves stone walls delimiting individual terraces or lawns, as well as individual surviving solitary trees in front of the chateau.

Architecture

In place of the dilapidated fortress, Jan Baltazar Clary ze Sperberbach had a new Baroque chateau built in Snědovice, completed around 1688. Snědovice Chateau is a one- and two-storey building with an inner courtyard, tall pilasters on the chateau façade, a rusticated stone gateway, and windows with triangular and segmental pediments. Today, the chateau houses a social care institution.

The Renaissance Velký mlýn mill was built in Snědovice after 1555. It preserves an art-historically valuable commemorative plaque featuring a wolf leaping from the forest as its heraldic motif and the Czech inscription “Waclaw z Quitkowa, Mandalena z Hrussova 1555”.

A Marian chapel was built in Snědovice in 1856. The Chapel of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary stands in the centre of Snědovice.
