Mladějov: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In Mladějov, ecclesiastical heritage, protected landscapes and marked trails stand side by side, with details ranging from the 14th century to the present day.

Culture and History

The Church of Saint Giles in Mladějov dates from the 14th century and features Baroque alterations. Regular services are held there; concerts by soprano Karolína Žmolíková take place there twice a year.

Notable furnishings include the baptismal font, which is protected as a cultural monument. Two statues from the side grilles of the main altar of the Church of Saint Giles are also protected as cultural monuments. The surviving bell in the Mladějov belfry bears depictions of Saint Wenceslas and Saint John of Nepomuk.

On the south wall of the church vestibule is a restored memorial to those who fell in the First World War. Access to the memorial to those who fell in the First World War in Mladějov is unrestricted. The belfry itself dates from 1793.

The Hus Congregation in Mladějov was opened on 21 August 1938. The village is also home to a sandstone crucifix by regional sculptor Josef Zeman. Mladějov’s pseudo-Baroque château was carefully restored after a fire in 2002 and is currently used for commercial purposes.

Nature and Landscape

The Mladějovsko landscape area administered by the Municipality of Mladějov lies on the southern or southeastern edge of the Český ráj Protected Landscape Area and the Podtrosecká údolí Nature Reserve.

The Mladějovská Gorge lies near the church and is a protected natural monument with impressive sandstone scenery. At Doly Pond, next to the dam, a statue stands in a niche carved into the rock; according to tradition, it is said to depict Saint John of Nepomuk.

From Mladějov-Pařízek, there are views of Trosky, Kozákov, the Krkonoše Mountains and Ještěd.
