Founded in the 13th century, Rožnov pod Radhoštěm has a rich history that is reflected in its well-preserved architecture and cultural heritage. The town flourished in the Middle Ages due to its strategic location on trade routes and later became known for its therapeutic spas, thanks to the pristine natural surroundings.

A significant historical landmark is the Wallachian Open Air Museum, established in 1925. This museum is one of the oldest and largest of its kind in Central Europe and provides a fascinating glimpse into the traditional rural life of the Wallachian people.

Penzion Hradisko is a historic guesthouse located in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm, Czech Republic. The property itself carries a rich history that dates back to the 18th century. Originally, it was part of a monastery founded by the Trappist monks in 1784. This monastery played a significant role in the local community, serving as a center for spiritual life and agricultural development.

In the early 20th century, the monastery buildings were repurposed and transformed into a guesthouse, taking advantage of the serene and picturesque surroundings that had long been appreciated by visitors. The Penzion Hradisko offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern comfort, providing guests with a peaceful retreat in a setting that echoes centuries of history.

Throughout its existence, Penzion Hradisko has been a witness to the changing times, including the turbulent events of the 20th century. Despite these changes, the guesthouse has retained its historic character and continues to be a beloved destination for travelers seeking tranquility and a connection to the past.

Today, Penzion Hradisko is known for its warm hospitality, comfortable accommodations, and stunning views of the Beskydy Mountains. Its historic roots and beautiful location make it a notable and cherished part of Rožnov pod Radhoštěm’s rich cultural tapestry.
