Kostelec U Holešova – Church, Burial Mounds and Nature

Kostelec U Holešova showcases its distinctive features in several clearly distinguishable areas. The characteristics of the locality range from cultural heritage to leisure and transport options; their differences become apparent at the individual sites.

Culture

The Church of St. Peter and Paul was built in 1735. It was reconstructed in 1840, when it received a new vault, a choir loft and a sacristy. Its furnishings also include a late Baroque organ, which was transferred to the church in 1833 from a dissolved monastery in Brno. The building history and furnishings therefore belong to different periods, which can be traced in this church building.

Another historical trace can be found in Kostelecký les. Burial Mound Group VII comprises 30 burial mounds, at least 28 of which have been investigated. The group contained cremation burials with an extensive range of ceramic furnishings, as well as bronze finds including needles, rings, beads and tubes. Hrádek is also associated with medieval history: the site is the location of an abandoned medieval fortress approximately 1.4 km northeast of Kostelec u Holešova.

Svatá studynka is a pilgrimage site near a chapel with a restored spring. Religious ceremonies have been held there for centuries, and tourists use the site for recreation. The place thus combines the chapel, the spring, religious traditions and present-day use by visitors.

Kostelecký les is also home to the “Král lesa” oak, protected as a natural monument in the cadastral area of Kostelec u Holešova. It was declared a memorial tree in 2009.

The “Víceúčelové sportoviště” multi-purpose sports complex is used for leisure and sporting activities. Volleyball, nohejbal, mini-football, mini-hockey ball, tennis, badminton and streetball can be played there. External legal entities and persons aged 18 or over can reserve the complex for a specified period for a fee.

When choosing a hotel in Kostelec U Holešova, you can compare the displayed offers objectively. Before booking, it is worth checking the exact location, type of accommodation, possible occupancy, included services, individual price components, and booking and cancellation conditions. These points help keep differences between listings transparent, without inferring the characteristics of an individual property from the appearance of the locality. Check the respective fields directly on the offer page before choosing an option. Depending on the listing, occupancy and included services may be presented differently; therefore, compare the specific fields rather than just the name of the locality or the offer heading. Price components and booking and cancellation conditions should also be checked in their respective versions so that the listings remain comparable on the same basis. The decisive information is the information displayed for the respective offer.
