Lahofer winery
The Lahofer winery is located approximately 50 km from our guesthouse. It is literally in the middle of the vineyards in the village of Dobšice, just outside the city, and it is definitely worth visiting the production area as well. From a distance, the relatively austere building in the classic material triple combination of wood-concrete-glass opens up closer and reveals an effective concrete wave that separates the production and visitor areas. A kind of amphitheater is created between the buildings for organizing cultural events, and you can climb up to the roof. The space inside is pleasant and you can enjoy the wine with a view of the growing vine seedlings. The proposal was drawn up by architects Chybík and Krištof.

Behind the Architecture
Archeopark Pavlov
The project won the Main Prize of the Czech Architecture Award three years ago. If you don't know much more about the local settlement than what Věstonická Venus looks like, it's high time to correct it in the local exhibition. Perhaps more interesting, however, is the architecture itself, which directly refers to the age of mammoth hunters – the exhibition is in underground, intricate, almost cavernous spaces, dimly lit by skylights in crooked concrete towers. In addition, the famous KarBar is parked right next door, equipped with coffee, breakfast and a snack before the next journey.
Racing gallery
The gallery by the architect Štěpán Děnge is located in the center of Mikulov, in the former Jewish quarter. You will recognize it at first glance, because there are not many new buildings in the vicinity. And definitely not that nice. Already in 2012, it won the new buildings category of the Grand Prix of architects, and the reasons are still clear. The scale and material concept of the building fits into the historical development, but the rendering is clearly contemporary. Learn more here: galerii Závodný

Chapel on the way
Chapel on the Way (designed by Vojtěch Kolář from BUT in Brno), as a reminder of the chapel of St. Rocha (from the time of Joseph II), is located near Dolní Dunajovice.
It is aptly named, it is more like reminders scattered like fragments along the path that lead to the top, to the remains of a cross struck by lightning. The simple white limestone blocks stand out in the landscape with dignity and are a nice example of how small interventions can help restore or enhance the beauty and identity of a place. By the way, the limestone is local.
