Discover Kostelec na Hané

Kostelec na Hané combines a small river, distinctive historic buildings, Haná traditions and regional specialties. Between the Romže stream, protected buildings and cultural exhibitions, you will find various reasons to get to know the town better. This makes it possible to plan a stay that combines history, lively culture, regional cuisine and free time.

Culture Between the Baroque Period and Urban History

One of the town’s defining buildings is the Church of St James the Elder. The protected single-nave Baroque building dates from 1754 and represents the historic side of Kostelec na Hané. The town hall also tells the story of the town’s development: its oldest part is the tower, dating from 1771. The granary remains protected as a cultural monument and adds to this view of the local architectural history.

The Červený domek houses the exhibition “The Poet of the Silesian People Petr Bezruč (1867–1958).” It focuses on a specific personality and expands the cultural offering with literary history. Those interested in regional identity can also encounter the Kosíř and Malý Kosíř folklore costume ensembles. They present Haná folklore and traditions both domestically and abroad. In this way, Haná culture becomes visible not only through buildings, but also through costumes and traditional customs.

A Stream, an Outdoor Area and a Regional Specialty

Kostelec na Hané lies on the banks of the Romže stream. This landscape feature gives the town a clear geographical connection and provides a peaceful accent alongside the historical themes. The outdoor sports area in Kostelec na Hané is available for an active or uncomplicated break: during its operating hours, it is freely accessible to the public. Which use suits you depends on the particular stay and your own plans.

Regional cuisine is also among the town’s special features. Sýrárna ROLS produces a Moravian specialty cheese from its own milk. Sýrárna ROLS cheese is sold directly at the premises through a sales window. This allows a visit to Kostelec na Hané to be complemented by a specific taste of Moravia, without overstating the local specialty with a more general culinary promise.

A Town with a Railway Connection

České dráhy line No. 271 (Prostějov–Kostelec na Hané–Chornice–Třebovice v Čechách) runs through the cadastral area of Kostelec na Hané and branches there onto line No. 273 (Prostějov–Kostelec na Hané–Senice–Olomouc).
