Kunice: Berchtold Castle, Church and Nature

Kunice offers several different points of interest to consider when planning a stay: Berchtold Castle, with its historic fabric and present-day leisure facilities; sacred architectural history; sports facilities; and the Lom Chlum natural monument. When comparing hotels in Kunice, you can match these local features to the purpose of your trip. The range of attractions extends from a castle tour that requires advance booking to a protected natural monument accessible via a tourist trail.

Berchtold Castle and Museum

Berchtold Castle in Kunice is a carefully restored historic property that now serves as a leisure complex with a hotel and restaurant. The Kunice Municipal Museum, located in Berchtold Castle, focuses on agriculture, forestry and hunting, as well as folk architecture. The castle thus brings together restored historic fabric and a museum with its own distinct subject matter.

Tours of the castle are offered on Saturdays and Sundays at 11:00 and 13:00; advance booking is required. The schedule may change. The two start times are two hours apart, offering an earlier and a later option on each day. If a tour is part of your reason for travelling, book in advance and check the current schedule before your visit.

Church and the History of Vidovice

The Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Kunice is Gothic; its construction is dated to the fourth quarter of the 13th century. It offers a clear reference point for the town’s medieval sacred architecture. A written record from 1388 documents a member of the nobility using the name “of Vidovice.” At that time, Vavřinec z Vidovic made Vidovice the centre of his estate. The church and the history of Vidovice offer different historical perspectives: a dated building history and a written mention associated with an estate.

Sports Facilities in Kunice

For sports-focused trips, the H+H Arena gives Kunice a specific point of interest. The facility has two natural-grass football pitches and a third-generation artificial-turf football pitch. It is used for football tournaments and company friendly matches. Together with the Na Zámečku Sports Centre, the H+H Arena forms a sports and leisure complex in Kunice. For travellers interested in football, the different pitch surfaces and the stated uses are concrete points of reference for understanding the facility’s sporting character.

Lom Chlum and Cycle Route 0025

Lom Chlum is a protected natural monument in the cadastral area of Dolní Lomnice u Kunic, in the municipality of Kunice. The disused, flooded quarry can be reached via a tourist trail. The natural monument protects a habitat for significant bird, reptile and amphibian fauna, including a significant population of protected animal species. Its former use as a quarry and the protection of its habitat give Lom Chlum a character distinct from the cultural sites and sports facility.

A named route is also a useful reference point for cycling trips: cycle route 0025 is called “Kunice–Šmejkalka.” Use the route number and name together when looking it up for your plans.
