Korolupy brings together several distinct themes for a stay: local history in the village square, late Baroque architecture, and links to the river and water. The village square is home to a memorial to those who fell in the First World War and visible remains of a former quarry for dark gabbro; the Church of St Lawrence is nearby. A brick park pavilion and two chapels with different designs add their own architectural forms to the scene. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can decide whether cultural history or aspects of the landscape should play a greater role in your stay.

Village Square and Parish Church

The memorial in the village square dates from 1929 and commemorates those who fell in the First World War. It stands beside the parish church, bringing together two distinct points of reference in the same square: sacred architectural history and public remembrance. Remains of a former quarry for dark gabbro are also visible in the village square. They point to the stone’s earlier extraction and add a geological note to the square alongside its historic buildings.

The Church of St Lawrence is late Baroque and dates from the second half of the 18th century. It has been a protected cultural monument since 1958. Services are held regularly in the church. If you plan to attend a service, check the exact times in advance.

Pavilion and Chapels

The Altán Korolupy offers another perspective on park architecture. The brick pavilion stands in a landscaped park northeast of Uherčice Castle. It is a late Baroque, central, tower-like, vaulted building from the late 18th century. In a prominent landscape setting, it stands at the crossroads of long paths lined with tree avenues. The building was originally used for hunting and later for meditation. It offers a chance to consider its architectural form, park design and historical use together.

The two chapels also differ in style and location. The Kaple P. Marie Bolestné is a small chapel in the late Empire style on the road to Vysočany. Another small chapel stands by the road towards Uherčice; it is late Neoclassical and dates from the second half of the 19th century. Compared with the late Baroque parish church, the chapels represent different styles: late Empire in one case and late Neoclassicism in the other. These differences provide several distinct points of interest in the area’s architectural history.

River, Swimming Pond and Mill

Korolupy lies on the right bank of the Blatnice. The municipal pond is used for swimming, offering a different aspect of a stay from architectural and memorial history. As swimming conditions can change, check the current conditions before planning a swim.

West of Korolupy, the surviving Korolupský mlýn mill stands in an isolated location. If you plan to visit, check access in advance.
