Heiliger Stein Ruins and Chapel

Highlight • Historical Site

The cult site at the Holy Stone is a real place of power with its historical site and its expansive view. The excavated church wall remains and the chapel are full of power, peace and inspiration.

Znaimertor Gate (Retz)

Highlight • Monument

The Znaimertor in the Znaimerturm was together with the Nalbertor one of the two city gates of the city of Retz

The city of Retz was founded in the immediate vicinity of Retz old town and laid out according to plan. The two city gates in the Znaimerturm and in the Nalberturm also date from around 1300.

In the course of the reconstruction of Retz after the conquest by the Hussites in 1425, so-called gate works were built in front of the city gates. Outside the city walls, the street in front of the Znaimertor led through a kinked doorway, which was interrupted by a gate and secured by another gate on the gate wall.

In 1552 a bell is mentioned on the Znaimerturm and in 1553 a tower clock.

Znaim Gate

Highlight • Monument

The Znojmo Gate, also known colloquially as the Fire Tower, is still the northern entrance to the city today. It dates back to the 13th century and was given its current form in the post-Hussite period after 1425. The water for the spring, the water extraction point for the citizens, was channeled around 2 km away. The Znojmo Gate was extensively restored in 2012. The clearly visible toll window indicates the toll revenues - along with the wine trading privileges, these were the basis of the city's former wealth.

Verderber House, Retz

Highlight • Historical Site

What is striking is the different battlements above, the distinctive color and a city gate.
When I was at school, the Spar was still rented on the left, where we bought our sweets.
