The most famous native of Kutná Hora is, without any doubt, the son of the blacksmith. We searched to see if he really bought the 3 houses in Prague, but to no avail. In the end, we were much more interested in the HOUSE OF KOUDENLÍKA ST., which is located on a square with a park, which is the gateway to the historic center of Kutná Hora
A house has been standing on this site since 1300. Back then, however, it was entirely made of wood, so it could not withstand medieval fires. But the current stone house can withstand everything, including the test of time. The proof is the antique furniture (some is original, some are replicas) and actually the whole genius loci that does not leave this place.
Kutná Hora is shrouded in rumors about silver bars, monks, overwhelmed wrecks and perhaps even a walled-up sleeping virgin. Find out for yourself where the truth lies and find out why Kutná Hora was nicknamed "Bethlehem among Czech cities" or "Monte Carlo of the Middle Ages".
To get to your apartment, you "must" walk through the most picturesque cobbled streets in Kutná Hora. And right next to Vlašské dvor, the former mint and royal palace, you will see an inconspicuous green house with the descriptive number 518.
There are 2 apartments waiting for you right there. Both have their own bathroom, kitchenette and 3 comfortable beds. In the attic studio apartment you will also find a historic folding chair - but we only recommend it as an extra bed for children.
Although we wanted to keep the interiors in a pure old Bohemian spirit, we sneaked in some modern conveniences to make you feel comfortable with us. We mean, for example, internet connection, flat screen TV and air conditioning in the attic apartment.
Part of the equipment is a kitchen, where you can prepare anything you want. But definitely leave the breakfast to us. We pop into the local bakery and bring a selection of the best sweet and savory pastries, along with other breakfast essentials.
There are many good restaurants in Kutná Hora, so if you tell us what you want, we will be happy to direct you to the right one.
If you want to bring a souvenir from Kutná Hora, try something from the local Kutná Hora "kitchen" instead of a magnet on the fridge. For example, go to Mr. Hrčkulák's flower honey - a small family beekeeper has been producing certified "Czech honey" for 3 generations.
In the wonderful neo-baroque Voršilek Monastery, you will indulge all your senses. Eyes will focus on the statues of angels by the Kutná Hora sculptor Jan Brázda, while the taste buds will not be able to wait to taste the bodynamic wines from the Kutná Hora Wine Cellars. Local winemakers breathe sustainability and are happy to tell you about how biodynamic wines are made and how they got the prestigious Demeter biodynamic agriculture certificate.
I myself am a guide in Kutná Hora, so instead of going into detail here about the historical center, UNESCO monuments, interesting things about silver mining and coin minting, the baroque plague column,... I'd rather show you everything live when you arrive.
When you want to take a break from those well-known places and monuments, I will direct you to the Jaroslav Vrchlický monument - the relief carved into the rock has been there for more than 100 years. If you continue further, you can follow the "Po Mlýne" path through the beautiful nature of the valley of the Vrchlice river to the dam of the Velké rybník. For relaxation, head to the Sklenářuv Dolík forest park with an educational trail. You will draw energy in a magical grouping of menhirs, which is built exactly according to ancient rules. In addition, there is a wonderful view of the city skyline.
You will experience a good dose of art at GASK. Housed in a former Jesuit college building, the gallery focuses on 20th and 21st century art trends, young artists and experimental works. Interesting workshops and tours for children, teenagers and adults have a great reputation. In the Art Gallery Café, you can have coffee from Czech roasters and view the sculptures of saints from the beginning of the 18th century. 12 sculptures are the work of František Baugut, but the authorship of the 13th is shrouded in mystery. Do you know which one it is?
I definitely recommend trips outside the city for some kind of trip. Only 2 kilometers from us is one of the two Kutnohorsk cathedrals, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist, and not far from it is the famous Sedlec Kostnice in the Chapel of All Saints. The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is built in the Baroque Gothic style, so typical of the author of the reconstruction, Jan Blažej Santini. Then you can continue to the Kaňk National Natural Monument and on to the Kačina Nature Park. Here you will find a beautiful empire castle with exhibits of the Museum of the Czech Countryside and an extensive castle park.
If you head southwest from us, you will reach Malešov. You can also get there comfortably by train from the nearby Kutná Hora - city train station. In the picturesque town, you can see the repaired Malešov fortress, which dates back to 1359. In its immediate vicinity is the Přátelský pivovar, where they continued the tradition of brewing beer from the 16th century, as well as a museum, a Jewish cemetery and a water reservoir. But the train will take you further. For example, to Zbraslavice or Zruč nad Sázavou, where you can visit the castle grounds or a giant ball track. Or simply get off at a stop in the fields and wander through beautiful nature with forests and ponds.
Our premises do not allow us to offer you bike storage, so if you are going on a cycling trip, it would be best if you borrow bikes from a rental company and return them.
