Ivanovice Na Hané: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The Ivanovice na Hané Chateau is a late Renaissance chateau with a valuable arcaded courtyard. The Bukůvka family began construction of the Renaissance chateau in 1608; the building was constructed by Antonín Pariz from Brno with the assistance of master stonemason Jan Foncun. The chateau is located southeast of the Church of Saint Andrew and is not open to the public.

Culture and History

At the head of the town square stands the Church of Saint Andrew, a significant landmark of the town. It has a Gothic core, was rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century, and modified in the 18th century. The Baroque-altered church is one of the town's historic monuments. Its bell tower, dating from 1759, is decorated with Baroque sculptures.

The cemetery chapel of Saint Joseph also dates from 1824 and was built in the Classical style by František, Margrave of Lusignan. His family crypt is located beneath the arcaded passage. On the eastern edge of Ivanovice na Hané lies the Jewish cemetery, with gravestones dating from the early 17th century; the Jewish community in Ivanovice na Hané no longer existed from 1940 onward.

The history of the town is also reflected in its fair privileges: Ivanovice was granted a privilege to hold a fair in 1507, and in 1547 Ferdinand I approved a third fair on the Tuesday after Pentecost. The sculpture ensemble of Saint Florian is a High Baroque sacred complex dating from 1721 to 1729. Statues of Saint Florian, Saint Wenceslas, John the Baptist, and the Guardian Angel stand on a monumental pedestal.
