Žďárec: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

History and architectural heritage

The Havlov summer residence estate was built in 1908 on a spur above the Bobrůvka in the cadastral area of Žďárec. In the Víckov district of Žďárec is the Gothic ruin of Víckov Castle. Its remains are protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic; the castle is also a valuable archaeological and cultural-historical monument. It stands on a rocky spur above the Loučka near the Víckovský potok.

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul is a prominent landmark of Žďárec. Gothic frescoes have been preserved in the presbytery of the parish Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Žďárec. The church was originally Early Gothic and has an Early Gothic core built around 1260; it also acquired a mighty Baroque tower. There are two Valík mills in Žďárec.
