Hotel Fialka Hotel building

Welcome to the heart of the picturesque Southwest Freaky. Right now you are standing in the spacious Square of Liberty in the historic town of Susice and before your eyes stands a significant townhouse with two familiar names. You can know it as a Krocin house, or under the traditional name Hotel Fialka. Raise your eyes carefully and let the atmosphere of the old days breathe upon you, which radiates directly from this corner building.

When you look closely at this storey building, you find yourself at the crossroads of centuries. Its foundations and its inner fortress go deep into the Middle Ages. Even then, hundreds of years ago, people built their homes here and made the history of this region. The construction contains a Gothic core and carries an unmistakable late Gothic structure.

Let us now focus on the details that form the unique architectural character of this monument. Although there are no known builders whose names would leave us with chronicles, the work speaks for itself. If you continue to observe and look up at the upper end of the building, your attention will certainly not escape the classicist balustride atics. This decorative feature provides the whole corner building with an unrepeatable charm and nobility. It is no wonder that this building forms such a distinctive dominance and natural decoration of the entire square.

Imagine what it was like when people were walking around the Drying Square in period clothes. This house wasn't just a place to sleep. In the past he served as a famous hotel, a popular restaurant and also as a famous confectionery shop. During the long years he became a beloved refuge and a regular stop for countless Šumava tourists who came here after a day of wandering wild nature to find rest, good coffee and sweet reward.

Now let's move a little closer in time to our presence and look at the new history of this place, which shows how much people care about this house. In one thousand and five (let us write it in words: in two thousand and five) an important reconstruction of the whole building took place. The town of Susice contributed CZK 150,000 to this reconstruction to preserve the monument for the next generation in the best possible condition. But life in the house continued at its own pace. In the year two thousand seventeen in the building definitely ended its operation long-time restaurant, which has been so famous for decades in the wide area. One year later, in the year two thousand and eighteen, the building was sold to a new owner again, opening a new chapter in her story.

This house carries a silent testimony about the changes in dryness life. Although we do not know the names of nobles or famous personalities that would be firmly associated with him, his true strength is his own durability and his ability to connect people. It was a place of meeting, the smell of coffee, the joys of tourists and busy urban life.
