The Parish Church of Our Lady of the Snows is a landmark of Velké Kunětice. The cemetery around the church is enclosed by a wall with two entrances: an eastern entrance facing the village and a northern entrance. The parish church was formerly dedicated to Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia.
Culture
The chateau complex consists of two residential buildings and farm buildings of different ages. The northern residential building of the chateau dates back to a medieval foundation, while the western residential building is Neoclassical. The chateau and farmyard were designated a cultural monument in 2022. The fortress, chateau and remaining park are open to the public by prior arrangement or during events.
Landscape
The 981-hectare cadastral area of Velké Kunětice slopes gently down in the northern part along the state border towards the plain along the Nisa. The northern foothills of the Sokolský hřbet extend into the Rychlebské hory in the southern part of the cadastral area.
History
Velké Kunětice was first mentioned in written records in 1284. In the late 15th century, there were limestone quarries in Velké Kunětice. After the hammer mills there ceased to exist, even more lime was burned in Velké Kunětice.
Cycling and hiking trails
The marked cycle route 6041 leads from Javorník via Vidnava to Velké Kunětice. The regional cycle route through the Jesenicko-Nysa area runs through Sławniowice, Velké Kunětice, Rokliny, Kaltenštejn, Zelená Hora, Vápenná and Žulová.
Two unique 19th-century lime kilns stand directly on a green-marked hiking trail in the centre of Velké Kunětice. A path leads from the lime kilns to a partially flooded marble mine, from which the raw material for these kilns was extracted.
