Cimelice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In the centre of Čimelice, the Church of the Most Holy Trinity is an important and highly visible element of the townscape. Its oldest part is the sacristy, which presumably dates from the first third of the 14th century. In the first half of the 18th century, the Baroque Chapel of St Barbara was added to the north side of the single-nave, east-facing church; it is vaulted with a dome and a lantern.

Landscape

The Čimelicko–Rakovicko Landscape Heritage Zone, designated in 2002, is located in the municipality of Čimelice. Čimelický Chateau was built in the Baroque style in 1728–1730 and remodelled in 1817. An English landscape park stretches around Čimelický Chateau, and a Baroque avenue connects Čimelický Chateau with Rakovický state farm.

The Skalice stream flows through both parts of the Čimelice settlement. The Kopáčovská Nature Monument is located near Čimelice, in a woodland complex by the Krsice–Rakovický mlýn road. It protects a 1.03-hectare wet meadow with protected plant species; the protected area was designated in 1985.
