Ronov Nad Doubravou can be explored through its distinctive architectural features and the Doubrava Valley. If you are looking for a hotel in Ronov Nad Doubravou, these two themes can help guide your trip: in the town, the square, the church and individual works of art take centre stage; the nature park draws attention to the river valley and wooded slopes.

The square, the church and Baroque details

Chittussiho Square measures 120 × 100 metres and is bordered by 27 houses. The measurements describe the area of the square, while the houses form its boundaries—two different points of reference for the townscape. The present-day Church of Saint Lawrence was built between 1849 and 1852 in the pseudo-Baroque style. The name of the style refers to Baroque forms adopted for a 19th-century building. The ceiling frescoes by Jaroslav Major copy Italian originals and depict scenes from the life of Saint Lawrence. In this way, the imagery connects with the church’s patron saint and adds a specific religious depiction to the architectural context.

In Svatokřížská Street, visitors can see the Baroque gable of the Kaplanka. House No. 25 on the same street has a Late Baroque gable with a niche whose back is decorated with a flat relief of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus. Both buildings share the gable motif; House No. 25 also features the niche and its figurative relief. Visitors who pay attention to architectural details will find contrasting features here, from the shape of the gable to the sculptural decoration.

Works of art and the landscape of the Doubrava Valley

At the lower end of Zámecká Street stand sandstone statues of Saint John of Nepomuk and Saint Procopius. They are examples of 18th-century Baroque sculpture. A different form of commemoration is represented by the memorial plaque to musicologist Dobroslav Orel, displayed on a townhouse. Together, these motifs extend beyond architectural history: alongside religious figures and depictions, the cultural character of Ronov Nad Doubravou also includes a tribute to a figure from the field of musicology.

The Doubrava Nature Park protects the deep valley of the Doubrava River between Spačice and Ronov Nad Doubravou. Here, the focus is not on gables, niches and frescoes, but on the shape of the valley, the riverbed and the wooded landscape. The landscape features include steep valley slopes and a stony riverbed. The slopes are mostly wooded; the trees also include remnants of beech and ravine maple forests. These landscape features are markedly different from the buildings and works of art in the town.
