Culture and History

Budkov Château was originally a water castle. It was later converted into a single-nave Renaissance château with four wings surrounding an enclosed courtyard. The east wing is complemented by a prismatic inhabited entrance tower.

The first written references to Budkov date from 1353; Jan z Budkova is named as its first owner.

In front of the western main portal of the Church of St Martin is an entrance staircase with seven stone steps and a low parapet wall. It is decorated with Baroque sculptures of Saint John of Nepomuk and Saint John Sarkander.

Farářova Chapel is a small sacred structure near a forest. According to legend, it is connected with the place where a priest froze to death.

Nature and Landscape

Budkov lies in a wide depression where the Bíhanka River rises. The Markvartická pahorkatina rises to the north, east and west of Budkov and forms part of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands.

Budkov Château Park contains a pond with an island and artificial waterways.

In good visibility, the view from the hills around Budkov extends as far as Kahlenberg and Leopoldsberg near Vienna in Austria.

Things to Do

On the fourth Sunday of Advent, Farářova Chapel is the destination of an annual pilgrimage from Budkov; this tradition has existed for 24 years.
