Šaldův statek House
Šaldův statek is a historic grafted estate in the heart of Jilemnic, a town in the Semilean district of Liberec. This monument protected building, registered in the Central List of Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic, is part of the town monument zone Jilemnic. The farm represents a typical example of Baroque architecture and its history dates back to the 18th century.
The creation of the Shaldova farm can be dated before 1732, when the original grafted building was founded. At that time, the economic development of Jilemnic started under the leadership of the Earl of Harracha, who tried to restore and modernise the city after the Thirty Years' War. In the 18th century there was a gradual expansion of the farm by other economic objects, which was typical of the region at the time. After a big fire in 1788, which destroyed City Hall and 114 houses in Jilemnice, the farm underwent a partial renewal.
The architecture of Shaldova farm is characteristic of Baroque style. The original grafted building was built before 1732 and other economic buildings were added to it during the 18th century. After the fire in 1788, there was a partial renewal which preserved the original structure of the construction. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the farm was reconstructed to fit its appearance from that time. In the 20th century it underwent a radical reconstruction in which the original beams were preserved and the entire building was rebuilt 30 meters closer to the street. Today it is a combination of original grafted parts and modern annex with kitchen.
A few changes have been made by the property of Shaldo over the years. Before the 19th century, the owner was an unknown original owner who founded the farm before 1732. At the turn of the 19th century, the farm was owned by the Shald family, who inhabited it until 1964. After the Šalda family left the house, the government took over and the gradual decaying of the building began. In 1964 the farm was dismantled and subsequently reconstructed to preserve its historical appearance.
Among the key events in relation to Shaldova's estate are a large fire from 1788, which destroyed part of the town of Jilemnic and damaged the farm. Another important event was the decision on radical reconstruction in the years 1964-1970, in which the original beams were preserved and the entire building was rebuilt. In 1990, Šaldův statek was entered into the Central List of Cultural Monuments and became part of the town monument zone Jilemnic.
Today, Šaldův statek serves as a restaurant that retains the historic atmosphere of the estate. The house is one of the few preserved examples of grafted buildings in Jilemnice that survived a great fire from 1788. There is a Baroque statue of St. John Nepomuk from 1752 in front of the house, which is also historically protected. There are several other historical monuments in the vicinity of the Šaldov farm, including the church of St. Vavrnice and the Baroque statue of St. John Nepomucký.
Šaldův statek is not only an architecturally interesting object but also an important part of the cultural heritage of the town of Jilemnic. Its history and preservation brings valuable insight into the past of the region and its significant changes. For tourists who are interested in history and architecture, Šaldův statek is a real pearl that is worth visiting. Its presence in the town monument zone Jilemnic highlights the importance of protecting and preserving cultural heritage for future generations.

Welcome to Shaldova farm - one of the most beautiful monuments of Jilemnice!
You are standing in front of just one of the best preserved grafted estates in our region. In front of you is a historic house, which, with its charm and ancient atmosphere, projects into the past. Note how its dark wooden walls are harmonically inserted into the picturesque environment of Jilemnice. This farm is like living proof of how people have built and lived in the past. Let's go together and see what this house has to offer.
Šaldův statek was founded before 1732 as an economic court. At that time, people here grew vegetables, raised cattle, and carefully managed what the country had given them. In 1788, however, Jilemnice suffered a great fire that destroyed many houses. This farm survived, but it must have been damaged. The fire left traces, which are still partly reflected in its construction. In the 19th century, the farmhouse came into the hands of the Shaldova family who inhabited it until 1964. During this time he underwent several reconstruction to maintain his original appearance.
Now pay attention to the architecture of this house. In front of you is a typical example of baroque grafted construction. Look around the facade - see how the vaults and roof gutters are carefully removed? These details are typical of the Baroque style that spread in this area in the 18th century. Graped houses like this were built from massive tribes that were attached together and joined by nails. Notice how some parts of the walls are decorated with niche or small windows - they were used for ventilation and as decorative elements.
Let's take a closer look at what this farmhouse does. In 1964 the farm was radically reconstructed - dismantled and rebuilt on new foundations. This recovery allowed him to survive until today. Today it serves as a restaurant where you can enjoy local specialities while enjoying the atmosphere of the past. Šaldův statek is part of the town monument zone, which means it is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. Maintaining it is important for us to maintain a link with our roots.
Now let's take a look at some of the attractions associated with this place. One of them is the fact that the farm survived several major fires that hit Jilemnice. This is proof of its strength and resistance. Another interesting thing is that the Shalds family lived here for over a hundred years. During this time, the farm became the center of local life, where neighbors met, weddings and other important events took place. Imagine what kind of stories happened here!
Although we know a lot about this house, there are still a few mysteries. For example, what exactly was the original form of the farm before its reconstruction in the 19th century? What details were lost in the renewal and what were preserved? These questions remind us that sometimes history is like a puzzle that we have only partially managed to put together. Yet this farm gives us a unique opportunity to dive into the past and understand how people lived in the past.
Before you leave, take another look at this beautiful house. Notice how its roof stretches over you, how light is reflected from wooden walls and how the whole farm is inserted into the picturesque environment of Jilemnice. This house is not only a monument, but also a living testament to how people in the past tried to maintain their home and traditions.
