Radenín: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In the former castle grounds of Radenín, parts of the 14th-century fortification walls and a later eastern gate have been preserved. Radenín Castle originated from a medieval fortress that was expanded into a castle in 1578 and became the center of the estate.

History

Radenín Castle was remodeled into its present form in 1869. It is a two-winged, two-story building with pilasters and half-columns on one wing, a lunette frieze on the second floor, as well as Renaissance cross vaults and net-rib vaults and barrel vaults with lunettes on the ground floor. In the cadastral area of Radenín, an area belonging to the castle grounds is registered as a cultural monument under registration number 29319/3-4974.

Religious Buildings

The Church of St. Margaret is single-naved, has a five-sided apse and a tower on the north side. Its Renaissance cross vault dates from the second half of the 16th century; a Renaissance façade also dates from the 16th century. St. Margaret has been documented as a parish church since 1369 or 1384 and is located near a Gothic medieval fortress. The subsidiary Church of St. Margaret in Radenín is essentially a Gothic building and is occasionally used for services.

The Chapel of St. Barbara on the south side of the church is Baroque and octagonal; it was built with a dome in 1732 and features Baroque paintings. In front of the Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk, there is a stone statue of St. Francis of Paola from 1717 on the left and a statue of St. John of Nepomuk from 1727 on the right.

The castle courtyard of Radenín has a well and terraces. Radenín Castle Park is a romantic terraced park designed in the 19th century on a Baroque foundation; a remnant of an orangery has been preserved there. From the castle, the park slopes down over five terraces and includes a viewpoint and a brick grotto.
