Kladno: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Kladno can be explored through its distinctive sacred and secular buildings, museums dedicated to regional and industrial history, as well as educational trails and sports facilities.

Culture and History

Kladenský zámek was extensively rebuilt between 1737 and 1740 on the site of a medieval fortress, based on a design by Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer; the reconstruction was carried out for Břevnov Benedictine Monastery. Completed in 1740, the Chapel of St Lawrence is oval in shape, has a domed vault and is incorporated into one of the quadrangular wings of Kladenský zámek. It is considered the historically most valuable part of the château.

The Church of St Nicholas in Kladno has been protected as a cultural monument since 5 April 2022. The two-nave, non-oriented building has a distinctive dominant tower dating from 1912–1913 and combines historicist styles, Art Nouveau and Modernism. A service is held every Sunday at 8:30 am in the Church of St Wenceslas in Kladno-Rozdělov.

Museums

Sládečkovo vlastivědné muzeum specialises in the regional history, ethnography and nature of the Kladno area and has a special collection dedicated to mining and metallurgy. Its collections also include material related to the demolished Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, as well as geology, archaeology and numismatics; they are complemented by historic furniture, guild objects and commemorative certificates.

Muzeum věžáků Kladno is open to the public on Saturdays throughout the year. The 90-minute guided tours start at set times and must be reserved. A tour includes the entrance hall, an exhibition, a show apartment, a view from the roof terrace and a visit to civil defence bunkers. The museum presents six high-rise buildings in Kladno, constructed between 1953 and 1957, which rank among the most significant achievements in 20th-century housing construction.

Educational Trails

The Vojtěšskou hutí educational trail is approximately 2.5 km long and has five stops. It runs through the site of the former Koněv ironworks in Kladno and presents the history of the ironworks and the main operational areas involved in steel production.

The Po lesních cestách do historie dolování uhlí na Kladensku educational trail begins in Kladno-Vrapice at the Church of St Nicholas and ends in Cvrčovice–Čabárna. It presents the history of coal mining in the Kladno hard-coal basin, passes the remains of individual mines and the outcrop of the most important Kladno coal seam, and continues to the Žraločí zuby natural monument.

Sports and Leisure

The illuminated Sletiště inline skating track is a 560 m asphalt circuit, open to the public year-round and available without reservation. From November to March, it is used at one’s own risk due to possible icing. Sletiště in Kladno offers specialised sports facilities and a spacious children’s playground.

Cycle path 017 runs directly past Aquapark Kladno.
