A castle that originally began as a fortress, along with religious landmarks and marked trails: Kojátky offers several ways to enjoy a stay focused on culture and nature. Those interested in architectural history can explore the castle’s development alongside the local crosses and sculptures; those who prefer the outdoors can choose between two marked hiking trails and a local cycling route. A rich natural area also extends into the municipality in a narrow strip. When looking for a holiday apartment, you can first decide whether local history, trails or nature will shape your stay, then compare the specific location of a property with your own plans.

Castle History and Religious Landmarks

Kojátky Castle originally began as a 16th-century fortress. In 1834, it was converted into a single-storey building with a chapel.

The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk is a registered cultural monument in Kojátky. In the Kaštanov district stands a Baroque stone sculpture of Saint John of Nepomuk from the 18th century. The cross called “Stoleťák” lies on the cadastral boundary between Kojátky and Bohaté Málkovice; in the past, residents made Marian processions to this cross. At the Kojátky–Bučovice–Vyškov crossroads, a cross bears witness to a tragic event on 23 June 1973. These sites bring together protected-monument status and religious art with a former tradition and a precisely dated event.

Most cultural events in Kojátky take place outdoors, especially in the garden of the former brewery. If an event is part of the reason for your trip, check the specific date in advance.

A Natural Area with Special Habitats

The Site of Community Importance CZ0624062 – Černecký a Milonický hájek extends into the municipality of Kojátky in a narrow strip, about one kilometre from the existing built-up area. The area is regionally significant and rich in species, including numerous specially protected species and species listed in the Red List. It comprises semi-natural dry grasslands and scrub facies on calcareous substrates. For nature-minded travellers, the notable species and specific habitats offer a distinct focus alongside architectural and cultural history.

Hiking Trails, Cycling Route and Getting There

For hikers, the two marked options differ in colour and location: a blue-marked trail passes through Kojátky, while a red-marked trail runs near the western edge of the village. A local cycling route also passes through the village. Check the signs on site, as route descriptions and markings may change.

Bus route 644 connects Bučovice and Kojátky. The “Kojátky rozcestí” stop on road 431 offers a bus connection to Vyškov. Check the latest information from IDS JMK before travelling, as timetables may change.

This information can help you choose a holiday apartment: consider the exact address and whether you plan to prioritise cultural sites, hiking trails, the cycling route or the bus connection. That way, you can choose accommodation not just by the name of the village, but according to what matters most for your stay.
