Skalsko: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture and History

In the centre of Skalsko, on a raised hilltop, lies the complex of St. Havel's Church. The church is a single-nave Baroque building dating from 1733–1734 and was created by remodelling an older Gothic church. The complex includes a surrounding wall, an entrance gate, a bell tower and the grounds of the former cemetery. The church consists of a rectangular nave, a set-back semicircular presbytery, a chapel and a sacristy.

A Slavic hillfort was located on the rocky spur of Zadní Hrádek in the northeastern part of Skalsko; Zadní Hrádek, near Skalsko, is also a natural monument. Archaeological evidence relating to Skalsko suggests that the place was connected with the defunct settlement of Skály, which probably belonged to the possible Slavic hillfort of Skála near Zadní Hrádek.

In the wider regional surroundings of Skalsko are the Church of St. Adalbert and the Chapel of the Holy Trinity.
