Řenče: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Řenče combines local history and pilgrimage traditions with scenic and cultural sites.

Culture and History

The Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Řenče was built between 1869 and 1878 in the Neo-Romanesque style. The organ in this church is also scheduled for restoration because experts consider it to be highly valuable.

The fortress in Řenče was later converted into a granary. The former fortress is registered in Řenče as an immovable cultural monument and an archaeological site. Of the originally three-winged Renaissance structure, two wings and a fragment of the courtyard wall remained after the conversion.

The preserved traditional buildings in Řenče also include a well-maintained log house with a stone enclosure around the courtyard. Plzen Barholomaeus Cathedral is a church in the wider regional area surrounding Řenče.
