Puklice: Hotels and Accommodations

The Jewish cemetery in Puklice contains around 80 restored tombstones, mostly made of granite, as well as some made of marble and sandstone. The last burial there took place in 1932.

Culture and History

In 1722, Puklice had a synagogue in an attic above a living room in house no. 35. The room featured Baroque vaults. The single-nave branch church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was built between 1946 and 1948 by converting a former manor barn. Its tower stands above the main entrance on the south side.

Puklice Castle probably originated as a late Gothic fortress, which was mentioned in connection with a sale in 1535 and remodeled in Renaissance style around 1578. Later, the castle underwent Neoclassical alterations.

Architecture

The approximately square courtyard of Puklice Castle is accessible through a passageway in the south wing. On the ground floor, arcades run along three sides of the courtyard.

A Neoclassical chapel, built in 1846, stands in the village square of Puklice and is considered an example of the creative adoption of late Baroque elements in vernacular sacred architecture. In addition, a late Baroque central chapel with a hexagonal floor plan stands in the open countryside on the road to Studénky near Puklice.

A relocated yellow-marked section of the Jihlavský okruh hiking trail runs between Puklice and Holý vrch outside Studénky and is 3.5 kilometers long.
