Bělá Nad Radbuzou: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Bělá nad Radbuzou combines traces of Renaissance architecture, Baroque buildings and distinctive sites in the surrounding landscape.

Culture and History

Bělá Fortress was built around 1614 by Wolf Josef Lamingen von Albenreuth in the Renaissance style. The reconstructed fortress houses, among other things, an information centre. After it was no longer used as the manor lord’s residence, it was used as accommodation for administrative staff. Today, Bělá Fortress is protected as a cultural monument and has been declared a cultural monument by the Czech Ministry of Culture.

The Baroque Bridge crosses the Radbuza and was probably built between 1723 and 1725 based on the model of Prague’s Charles Bridge. It is decorated with six Baroque statues of saints and is used by pedestrians and cyclists.

The Church of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows dates back to a chapel built in Bělá in 1696–1697 and was later enlarged. After a fire in 1826, it was rebuilt and extended.

Near Bělá nad Radbuzou lie the Kocovy kameny, distinctive stone cultural monuments. The rocks consist of stone bearing inscriptions left by merry hunting parties.
