Cesky Dub: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

An early testament to the history of Český Dub is the Český Dub Commandery of the Knights Hospitaller. It was founded in 1237 together with the adjoining market settlement, opened to the public in 1993, and today forms a separate exhibition of the Podještědské Museum. Visits are only possible with a guide.

Culture and history

The Podještědské Museum was officially founded in autumn 1919 and opened to the public in 1921. The historic building stock also includes the Romanesque Chapel of St John the Baptist, one of the oldest surviving buildings in North Bohemia.

The originally Gothic Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit was founded as a parish church before the middle of the 13th century. Later, it also served as the convent church of the Knights Hospitaller.

The Neoclassical family crypt of Franz von Schmitt, with its chapel, was built in 1872–73 according to plans by the Viennese architect Karl Tietze and is richly decorated with paintings, stucco and sculptures. Blaschkova Villa was built in 1880–81 as a representative residential and garden villa.

Townscape

The Renaissance town hall of Český Dub, with high gables and an octagonal corner tower topped by an onion dome and lantern, was completed in 1565. The partially preserved town walls of Český Dub are among the town’s notable sights.

Schmittův zámek is not currently open to the public.
