Čakovice: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The archaeological site in Čakovice includes a fortress and a village. It contains evidence dating from prehistory through the Middle Ages to the transition to the modern era. The built-up area of Čakovice and its immediate surroundings also contain documented or reasonably suspected archaeological finds.

Culture and history

The village is home to a chapel dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk and Saint Paul. The original Chapel of St John and Paul in Čakovice was built at the end of the 17th century; it was later renovated and attributed to the early 19th century. In 1964, it was entered in the register of cultural monuments.

The fortress of Čakovice is first documented for the years 1535 to 1545. During the Thirty Years’ War, it was destroyed down to its foundations; a manor farm was built on the site of the former fortress.

Notable examples of folk architecture also form part of the village landscape. These include both log houses and houses with half-timbered upper floors. A partially restored mill stands on a bend in the centre of Čakovice.

Landscape and trails

The Obrtka stream, formerly known as Chablavka, flows through Čakovice. It rises near Domašice on the edge of the Vlhošť section of the Kokořínsko Protected Landscape Area. At Polepy, the Obrtka flows into the Úštěcký potok from the left.

The remains of the millrace of the Čakovice mill run alongside the road towards Radouň. A historic branch of the Snědovická cesta led from Radouň via Čakovice to Hoštka.

In the area around Štětí, the family-friendly educational trail “Naučné putování loupežníka Štětky” provides information about the region’s history and nature.
