Žerotín: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Žerotín Chateau was built in 1751 and served as a summer residence for the Augustinian monastery in Šternberk. The Chapel of St. Martha was built in 1882 on the site of an earlier wooden bell tower and is located in the centre of Žerotín. Žerotín Chateau is currently not open to the public.

Culture and Local History

The park is also home to a pavilion carved from oak wood for four people, colloquially known as “Koráb”. The Žerotín Feast of St. Martha was held as a traditional celebration in July in honour of Saint Martha, the patron saint of the local chapel. The Saturday programme of the Žerotín Feast of St. Martha included the traditional tournament “O PUTOVNÍ ŽEROTÍNSKOU KLOBÁSU”, which has been organised for more than a quarter of a century by the footballers of the local small-sided team. The Sunday programme of the Žerotín Feast of St. Martha traditionally culminated in a mass held in front of the local chapel.
