Where to stay in Chválkovice
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The pilgrimage avenue decides it. Chválkovice sends the question down the route laid toward Svatý Kopeček, since the ground here carries housing and listed stonework rather than any trade in guest rooms, so the booking lands in Olomouc. Fort II Chválkovice sits out here.
A traveller who wants the church of svatá Barbora, the Parní vodárna Chválkovice and the Pastoušky monument in one morning still sleeps in the city and rides out for them.

About Chválkovice
What are the main landmarks in Chválkovice?
Eleven listed entries carry the name. Parní vodárna Chválkovice, a steam waterworks, stands alongside Fort II Chválkovice, while the church of svatá Barbora anchors the older core with a kamenný kříž planted in front of its door. Devotional pieces fill the rest.
A statue of svatý Jan Nepomucký, a sculpted pilgrim with an angel, a chapel, a second stone cross, and monuments on the Pastoušky and Švabinského streets round out what the register ties to this ground. The avenue toward Svatý Kopeček is listed too.
What is the history of Chválkovice?
The written record is thin. What Chválkovice has instead of a chronicle is a set of objects: an avenue laid out between it and Svatý Kopeček for pilgrims, a fort numbered II, and devotional stonework running from a chapel to a statue of svatý Jan Nepomucký. Not one of these objects carries a year, and neither does Chválkovice.
The Parní vodárna Chválkovice, a steam waterworks, is the one industrial entry on the list, while the church of svatá Barbora and the kamenný kříž standing before it are the two that name each other. Olomouc holds it as a district.
