Hnojník: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture and History

Hnojník Castle is a landmark of the municipality and a cultural monument of architectural significance. The castle that has been preserved to this day was built by Karel Václav Beess z Chrostiny in the 18th century in the Baroque style as a single-storey building. In the first half of the 19th century, it was remodelled according to a design by the Viennese architect Josef Kornhäusel in the Silesian Empire style.

The present masonry Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Hnojník was built in the Empire style. Construction work began on 30 May 1808, and the church was consecrated on 18 November 1812. The family crypt of the Beessů z Chrostiny family, built around 1868, is located in the Hnojník cemetery. The burial chapel of the Barons Beessů z Chrostiny, the owners of Hnojník Castle, is a rectangular Empire-style chapel built into the cemetery wall in Hnojník.
