Discover Štarnov: Church, Chapel and Historical Traces

Štarnov offers several ways to explore history, culture and local orientation. On the one hand, historical memorial sites shape the character of the place; on the other, a registered cultural monument complements these themes with events for the public. There are also specific points of reference at the railway station or stop and along the Hvězdná cycling route. If you do not want to plan a trip around just one destination, Štarnov allows you to get to know the area from different perspectives.

Church of St. Nicholas and Medieval Atonement Crosses

The Church of St. Nicholas complex includes the church with gravestones, an enclosing wall, a Baroque gate and a mortuary. During a visit, you can view the various parts one after another and get to know the church grounds not only through the façade but also through their surroundings. This makes Štarnov a place with a clear cultural focus for your travel planning.

Three medieval atonement crosses have also been preserved in Štarnov. They were erected as atonement at murder sites. The crosses draw attention to a historical way of dealing with guilt and public remembrance. For families, this can provide an opportunity for a shared conversation: during the walk, questions about earlier ideas of atonement and responsibility can be addressed directly at a specific location. In this way, the visit adds an independent historical trace to the architectural evidence around the church.

Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows and Public Community Life

The Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows in Štarnov is a registered cultural monument and is maintained by the municipality. Cultural and religious events for the public take place in its surroundings.
