Discover Drnholec

Drnholec offers a range of themes for your stay: protected architecture, a protected floodplain landscape, a cycling route and wine tastings. If you are looking for a hotel, you can consider which of these themes you want to make the focus of your trip. The history of the buildings ranges from a former early Gothic church to a Baroque church; nature, cycling and wine offer additional cultural points of interest.

Church, rectory and Renaissance buildings

The listed Church of the Holy Trinity (Nejsvětější Trojice) was built from 1750 to 1757 to a design by František Antonín Grimm. The Baroque building is in the French style, with simplified architectural forms and a cruciform ground plan. At 36 metres long, 11 metres wide and 21 metres high, the building’s form can also be understood through its specific dimensions.

The Fara building tells a different story of construction: at the end of the 16th century, it was converted from an early Gothic church into a rectory. Its façade bears traces of Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance windows, as well as early Baroque winged angel heads. Above the former entrance is an early Baroque stone-carved cartouche bearing the coat of arms of the Tiefenbach family.

The listed Stará radnice is a Renaissance building whose development dates back to the 16th century. Its architectural details include valuable Renaissance vaults in the interiors and an uncovered, decorated painted ceiling featuring a grapevine motif. A tourist information centre is also currently located in Stará radnice. If you plan to visit for orientation, check the latest visitor information beforehand.

Floodplain landscape and cycling route

Drnholecký luh is a 149.086-hectare Site of Community Importance with mixed floodplain forests. Its habitats include those of the European fire-bellied toad (Bombina bombina) and the red flat bark beetle (Cucujus cinnaberinus). The Natura 2000 site can be seen from Rozhledna U Křížku. The viewpoint also offers a view south towards Austria. This means you can take both a specific natural area and a view with regional significance into account when planning your trip.

The Po Moravské vinné stezce Mikulovskem cycling route passes through Drnholec and is part of Greenways Praha–Vídeň. Cycling therefore offers a distinct point of interest alongside architecture and nature.

Wine tastings at Nové vinařství

Two different tasting formats are described at Nové vinařství. Groups of eight or more can book a guided wine tasting with a tour of the production hall and commentary; advance booking is required. During the summer season, self-service tasting is also available in a tasting room or on an outdoor terrace. The wine is dispensed through a By the Glass® self-service machine, with three tasting sizes and three price tiers. The practical difference is the format: a guided visit for groups that needs to be planned in advance, or a seasonal self-service option.

These themes can each provide a different focus when choosing your stay: building history and architectural details, floodplain forest and views, cycling, or a wine tasting. This makes it possible to explore Drnholec based on your specific interests while looking for a hotel for your trip.
