Zlátenka brings together three distinct cultural landmarks: a wayside shrine, the village chapel and a cross on the southern edge of the village. It also has a clear road connection: the I/19 runs directly alongside the village and links Jihlava with Plzeň. This allows you to take both local architectural and commemorative landmarks and the connection between the two cities into account.

Location and choice of accommodation

The I/19 runs directly alongside Zlátenka and links Jihlava with Plzeň. This connection helps you place the village on your journey. When looking for a holiday apartment, first consider whether Zlátenka itself should be the main focus of your stay or whether you would rather choose your accommodation based primarily on travel plans involving Jihlava and Plzeň. Take the specific accommodation address and your own destinations into account when making this decision. This keeps your choice of base aligned with your travel plans, rather than relying on the village name alone.

The wayside shrine: design and history

The Baroque granite wayside shrine is considered typical of this part of the Vysočina. The shrine is dated 1766 on its pedestal. It has been a protected monument since 1958. This brings together several historical reference points: the date on the pedestal establishes its period, while its protected status marks a later chapter in its history. Those interested in architectural heritage can consider its material, stylistic classification and dating as separate details, rather than combining them into a single statement.

Village chapel and cross

Zlátenka’s village chapel has a square floor plan and a metal tower. The square floor plan and metal tower define the chapel’s architecture. The cross on the southern edge of the village provides a different point of interest. It was restored in 2011, so its history has a dated change in addition to its location. The chapel can be understood through its architecture, while the cross is notable for its restoration. Both landmarks complement the wayside shrine without telling the same kind of local history.

During your stay, the three landmarks may appeal to different interests: the wayside shrine’s design and material, the chapel’s geometry or the cross’s restoration history. These distinctions offer a concrete reason to choose Zlátenka as a destination or include the village in your travel plans. The road connection between Jihlava and Plzeň can provide an additional point of orientation; which accommodation suits your plans depends on your actual destinations.

Access note

On 7 June 2019, the wayside shrine was listed as preserved and freely accessible. Check access when you arrive so that your visit plans reflect the current situation.
