Kladníky: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Kladníky lies on the southeastern slopes of the Maleník Massif and in the valley of the Šišemka River.

History

The history of Kladníky begins in the second half of the 14th century. In 1372, brothers from Kladníky received Kladníky Fortress as a fief from Margrave John Henry. The site where the fortress was presumably located lies in the northern part of the village near houses no. 4 and 5; the place was formerly called „Zámčisko“. During the Thirty Years’ War, the local fortress fell into decay.

The former wooden windmill of Kladníky dates from 1829. Its interior was transferred to the Wallachian Open-Air Museum in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm in 1983. From 3 May 1958 to 28 August 2008, the former windmill was protected as an immovable cultural monument; this protection is no longer in force. Inadequate maintenance led to the complete destruction of its framework.

Culture

The Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary was built in 1925 on the site of a belfry erected as early as 1848 and consecrated on 13 September 1925. A memorial plaque commemorating those who fell in the First World War is located at the chapel. There is also a statue of Saint Anthony next to the chapel in Kladníky.

Religious monuments can also be found at the village exits and near the former windmill: in the direction of Hlinsko stands a statue of Jesus Christ, and in the direction of Lhota a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk. At the village exit towards Bezuchov and Šišma stands a wooden cross, while near the windmill there is a statue of the Virgin Mary of Hostýn.

Cycling

The Záhorská cycling route passes through Kladníky on a circular route from Lipník nad Bečvou. It is approximately 39 kilometres long and is particularly suitable for trekking bikes.
