Sluhy brings together several specific themes for a stay: the architectural history of Kostel sv. Vojtěcha, the history of Služský mlýn, and landscape features from the southern edge of the village to its first houses. When planning, you can therefore choose your own focus from architecture, mill history, remembrance and landscape.

Architectural history around Kostel sv. Vojtěcha

Kostel sv. Vojtěcha is a protected cultural monument. It has Romanesque origins, was remodelled in the Gothic style in 1270, and acquired its present appearance, with chapel-like niches, during a late Baroque renovation in the 18th century. Unusual arcades around the chancel add a distinctive architectural feature to this history. Chapel-like niches are recesses in a wall whose shape recalls small chapels. In Sluhy, this detail shapes the church’s present appearance; the arcades additionally mark the area around the chancel.

Beside the church stands a stone, prismatic bell tower with four windows, dating from the 16th century. The associated rectory is single-storey, has a square floor plan, and dates from 1780. The tower and rectory add further datable architectural features alongside the church’s various building phases.

Mill and remembrance

Služský mlýn takes you from sacred architectural history to the mill’s former use. It was originally a manorial mill, founded by Jan Janda before 1573. Today it serves as a residential building. If you plan to make the mill a stop of its own, check the situation on site in advance.

A memorial to the victims of the First and Second World Wars stands in a park in Sluhy. Its dedication adds a distinct focus on commemorative culture to the architectural themes and offers a different historical perspective from the church and mill.

Water and cliffs at the edge of the village

At the southern edge of Sluhy lie the Mratínský potok and a pond. Cretaceous sandstone cliffs emerge by the village’s first houses; the cliffs are highest there, and there is a small cave. The landscape therefore encompasses different features: water at the southern edge of the village, and cliffs and a cave near the first houses.
