Culture and history

The Chapel of St. Wenceslas opposite the rectory dates from 1883. Next to the church in Čakov is a village fountain complex dating from 1869.

Archaeological investigations on the outskirts of Čakov uncovered settlement remains from the Hallstatt period, including an estate belonging to iron producers. In the forest 1.5 km south of Čakovec there is also a group of burial mounds from the Hallstatt and La Tène periods, dated to the 6th to 4th centuries BC.

Churches and farmsteads

At the highest point of Čakov stands the Early Gothic Church of St. Linhart, which is visible from far across the surrounding landscape. It dates from around the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. The church contains the tombstone of Jiří Čakovec of Bohuslavice, dating from 1529; it is accessible during services.

The Baroque farmstead No. 6 in Čakovec stands on the site of a former Gothic fortress. It was built by monks from the Cistercian monastery of Vyšší Brod.
