Prádlo: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture and History

The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is a originally Gothic building from the 13th century, constructed with the involvement of the Cistercian building workshop of Nepomuk. Another historical layer lies in the center of Prádlo: the former distillery was originally a fortress from the second half of the 16th century. This fortress has served as a distillery since the 19th century.

In 1997, Likérka Jenčík a dcery returned to Prádlo and established its production facilities in the former Engler mill building. Local history associates the name Prádlo with the washing of gold-bearing sand in the Middle Ages. Several spoil heaps have been preserved along the Úslava near Prádlo as remnants of gold mining.

The Plzen Barholomaeus Cathedral, a church, is also located in the wider regional surroundings of Prádlo.
