Květinov: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture and History

The Schmidt family burial chapel in Květinov is a Neo-Gothic chapel dedicated to the Holy Cross. Marie Schmidtová had it built in 1888 in memory of her late husband, JUDr. Zdenko Schmidt, and her daughter Valérie. An underground family crypt is located beneath the chapel. It can be accessed via a stone spiral staircase and is secured by an iron door.

Kvasetice Chateau was built in the Neo-Gothic style in 1864. The restored Kvasetice Chateau is home to a boutique hotel.

Historic Sites

The memorial to the victims of the First World War in Květinov was renovated after the original eagle was stolen and subsequently replaced.

Southeast of Květinov lies Květinovský Mlýn on the Úsobský Stream. The mill is already marked on military maps from 1764–1768 and 1836–1852. Its water-powered equipment includes a Francis turbine and a water wheel; the facility can be visited by arrangement with the owner.

In the Radňov district, a memorial commemorates the victims of collectivization. It consists of a three-tiered stone pedestal, an iron cross with a gilded figure of Christ, a memorial plaque, and a plough. The memorial commemorates the disenfranchisement and suffering of farmers under communist rule from 1948 to 1989.

Dining

The restored Kvasetice Chateau also includes a restaurant offering a tasting menu made from regional ingredients.

Memorial Sites in Radňov

Further evidence of the local history can be found in Radňov: The Václav Hojer Memorial commemorates the local school principal and community chronicler. A memorial plaque dedicated to Bedřich Hojer commemorates a local landowner who was forcibly expelled from the village with his family in the 1950s.
