Skřípov: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Skřípov reveals several different facets – from sacred architectural history to a cycling route and wetlands.

Culture and History

The Church of the Ascension in Skřípov was built in 1780. In 1835, it was extended with a polygonal apse and two side chapels, forming a transept. In 2006, the church was declared a cultural monument.

The Chapel of the Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven is the largest of the four chapels in Skřípov. The brick building has a rectangular floor plan and a three-sided apse. A four-sided bell tower with a hipped roof and a metal cross at the top stands on the roof ridge. Franc Fischer had the chapel built using his own funds and donations, and placed a marble sculpture of the Virgin Mary inside, which was created according to a description by Anna Fiedler.

The Mohylník Skřípov archaeological site comprises 16 identified burial mounds.

Cycling

Cycling route 5028 passes through Skřípov between Horní Štěpánov and Konice. The cycling tour through the Drahanská vrchovina is 83.5 kilometres long in total and includes approximately 1,094 metres of elevation gain.

Nature

The remarkable Skřípovská lípa is estimated to be 300 to 400 years old.
