Hotels in Radoľa: Veľké Ostré and Kaštieľ Radoľa

Radoľa is home to the protected natural monument of Veľké Ostré within its cadastral area. The natural monument protects a rock wall highlighted by selective erosion, formed by a sequence of layers of Mesozoic limestone from the Klippen Belt. Veľké Ostré serves scientific, educational and cultural-educational purposes.

Culture and History

The permanent exhibition “The World of Ancient Ancestors” presents history from the Upper Paleolithic to the Middle Ages. The permanent exhibition “Bourgeois Housing in the Kysuce Region” focuses on a different historical theme: it presents the history of housing in Kysucké Nové Mesto and Čadca.

A significant archaeological site is located on the western edge of Radoľa. Koscelisko is designated as a national cultural monument under ÚZPF number 10456/0. The foundations of a brick-built early Gothic church from the second half of the 13th century are located at Koscelisko. Among the notable finds is an 84 mm-high Radoľa, or Kysuce, Madonna made of bone, dating from the 14th century.

The educational-historical trail includes the Koscelisko archaeological site dating from the mid-13th century. The educational-historical trail in Radoľa is approximately 4 km long. It is marked with signposts, and information boards supplement it with historical features of the surrounding area.

Another prominent site is Kaštieľ Radoľa. The building was constructed in the 16th century, and its first written mention dates from 1575. Since 1983, Kaštieľ Radoľa has housed exhibitions and exhibition rooms of the Kysucké múzeum. The château is one of the few Renaissance monuments in the Kysuce region and the only surviving aristocratic residence there.

The Radoľský jarmok, a traditional event held on 5 July, is part of the local annual calendar. The name of the place thus appears in a cultural context that, alongside the exhibitions, archaeological traces and Renaissance building, represents its own established date in the calendar.
