Krasonice: Hotels and Accommodation

Culture and History

Krasonice Château presumably stands on the site of an earlier fortress mentioned in sources dating from 1353. In 1630, the former fortress was converted into the late Renaissance, single-storey Krasonice Château. Its features include an irregular courtyard and ground-floor arcades. The château is located in the centre of the village near the Church of Saint Lawrence and is privately owned.

The Church of Saint Lawrence is documented in Krasonice as early as 1311. It acquired its present Baroque appearance around 1771. A large painting of Saint Lawrence hangs above the marble main altar.

The Chapel of the Virgin Mary on Humberk is a Neo-Gothic building with windows decorated with stained glass. Its slender tower is 22 metres high and carries three harmonised bells. The chapel was built in 1664 in gratitude for the healing of Karel Maximilián Thurn's diseased eyes. The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk was also blessed in Krasonice on 18 June 1720.

Trails and Landscape

The Březina Trail passes through Krasonice and connects places associated with the poet Otokar Březina. The trail is 55 to 60 kilometres long and runs along roads, field tracks and footpaths. Its climbs are described as not particularly demanding.

The landscape of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands around Krasonice invites visitors to go hiking and cycling. In the vicinity of Krasonice, Maškův mlýn stands on the Želetavka. There is a pond and a weir next to the mill. In the past, Maškův mlýn had its own sawmill and limeworks.
