Slatina pod Hazmburkem: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The historic centre of Slatina was declared a protected heritage zone in 1995 because of its 32 original structures – including barns, enclosure walls and gates typical of a Czech circular village. The original stone houses stand in a flattened circle and form a round village square.

Culture and History

The first written records of Slatina date from 1056. Since the end of the 12th century, the village has been home to an originally Gothic church. Following reconstruction, it was rededicated to Saint John of Nepomuk in 1746. The Renaissance tower of the church was built in 1595 and has a stone portal on the ground floor with an inscription about the Renaissance expansion of the church.

Historically, Slatina was located on an important road between Litoměřice and Libochovice, known as the “Slatina Road”.

Landscape and Nature

Slatina lies at the eastern foot of the Házmburk castle ruins, between the floodplains of the Podsedický potok and the Rosovka. The Vrch Hazmburk natural monument also includes areas in Slatina.

In the protected Vrch Hazmburk area, steppe and forest-steppe biotopes, as well as extensively managed orchards, cover approximately 60 percent of the area. In the same area, which also includes Slatina, exposed basalt outcrops and scree slopes can be found around the castle.

The protected Vrch Hazmburk area associated with Slatina pod Hazmburkem preserves species of European importance, such as the grasshopper Stenobothrus eurasius and the Jersey tiger moth Euplagia quadripunctaria.
