Vendolí: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In Vendolí, the protected heritage area of St. Andrew’s Church includes the church, the mortuary, the associated plots of land, and the enclosing walls with chapels.

Culture and History

St. Andrew’s Church stands on a former cemetery bordered by an enclosing wall with chapels. The parish church was originally built in 1517 in the Late Gothic style and remodelled in the Early Baroque style in 1693. The cemetery wall around the church contains Neo-Renaissance reliefs of the Stations of the Cross from the second half of the 19th century.

The Museum of Rural Crafts in Vendolí was ceremonially opened on 5 July 2006 as part of a gathering of former residents. The museum’s rooms were also used for Christmas exhibitions, including “Vánoční inspirace” in 2005 and a nativity scene exhibition in 2008.
