Suchodol: Find a hotel and discover the Church of Saint Luke

Suchodol offers a range of starting points for planning a trip: historical details about the village, a protected church complex, and a tandem skydive associated with the area. When looking for a hotel, you can first consider whether cultural history or a sporting activity should be the main focus of your stay.

Church of Saint Luke and protected grounds

The protected grounds include more than just the church building. They also include the cemetery wall, Josef Suk’s gravestone, and the plots of land within the complex. This composition is important for understanding the cultural heritage: the protected site consists of several named parts, not just the church. Inside the church is a Baroque altar with an image of Saint Luke; the tower contains a bell by Pavel Korka z Korkyně, dating from 1582. The altar and the bell offer different points of interest: the altar draws attention to its Baroque design and image of the saint, while the bell is notable for its attribution and date.

Historical points of reference

The first written mention of Suchodol is dated to 1360. At that time, the noble estate was owned by Petr ze Suchého Dolu. These two details refer to different things: 1360 is the year of the first written mention; the ownership detail concerns the noble estate. The 1582 bell provides a second point of reference, this time among the church’s furnishings. The dates therefore relate to different subjects: 1360 to the mention of Suchodol and the ownership of the noble estate at that time, and 1582 to the bell in the church tower. This makes it possible to place the village’s history and the church’s furnishings in context using a specific historical reference for each.

Local details and activities

Another local detail is the cross in Suchodol’s central public square. It stands in front of the grounds of the agricultural cooperative. This specific location adds another named feature in the village to the details of the church complex and offers a different starting point for exploring Suchodol’s local history.

Letiště Příbram airfield is located within the cadastral area of Suchodol. A tandem skydive from 4,000 metres is offered at Letiště Příbram–Dlouhá Lhota airfield in connection with Suchodol. This gives trip planning a clearly defined focus on activities alongside the cultural and historical topics. If you want to make the jump a firm part of your plans, check in advance whether it is scheduled for your date.

Multi-purpose sports field: usage rules with a time qualification

In 2020, the multi-purpose sports field was open to the public on weekdays from 15:00 to 20:00. On weekends, public holidays, and during school holidays, the opening hours at that time were 8:00 to 20:00. Use could be booked by email; only confirmed reservations were valid. As these rules refer to 2020, check the current opening hours and booking conditions locally before making firm plans to use the sports field.
