Konárovice offers several distinct reasons to visit: religious buildings, a castle and a history of winegrowing on the one hand, and mixed forests for walks, cycling and mushroom picking on the other. Specific architectural details include a life-size sandstone statue, an inscription bearing a date, an octagonal Marian column and a castle with a mansard roof. This allows you to plan cultural local history and outdoor activities as separate highlights.

Religious buildings and their details

The parish church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is located in Konárovice and belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of the village. The protected church precinct includes a tower, a mortuary chapel, an enclosing wall with two gates and a niche chapel.

A chapel containing a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk stands on higher ground beside the road at the southeastern edge of Konárovice. Inside is a life-size sandstone statue. An inscription bearing the year 1764 is set into the statue’s pedestal. Its location, material and scale give this religious structure a distinctive character.

The Marian column in Konárovice is an octagonal stone column topped by a statue of the Madonna. The coats of arms of the Harrach and Lobkowicz families appear on its shaft. Its design thus differs from the statue of John of Nepomuk in the chapel: the latter is described as a life-size sandstone figure with an inscription on its pedestal, while here a Madonna stands atop a column, with coats of arms on the shaft. Visitors interested in religious imagery can observe the form of the support and the arrangement of its details.

Castle, winegrowing and mixed forests

Konárovice Castle is a four-winged building with a mansard roof; the Harrach family coat of arms is above the entrance. “Four-winged” describes the building’s layout, while “mansard roof” describes the roof shape—two distinct architectural features. The castle is listed under number 20777/2–794 in the Central Register of Immovable Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic.

Another chapter in local history is the Baroque hospital on Konárovice village square. It operated from 1667 to 1872. These dates mark the period when the hospital was in operation and establish the timeframe of its use.

Winegrowing is also part of the village’s history. Winegrowing on the sunny southern slopes near Konárovice dates back to the second half of the 14th century; it is documented in writing for the year 1588. A more recent detail concerns the Zadní Zájezd vineyard site near Konárovice: it was replanted in early 2019.

The surrounding mixed forests offer another focus. They are suitable for walks and cycling, and particularly for mushroom picking. These are specific options for anyone wishing to complement visits to buildings and historical sites with outdoor activities.
