Aquaforum Františkovy Lázně

Highlight • Rest Area

The AquaForum is a great building. However, the swimming pool is completely overpriced and not recommended.

Staré Náměstí (Old Square), Sokolov

Highlight • Historical Site

The old town mile is actually called "Old Square" (Staré námesti) and is the historical centre of Sokolov. At the eastern end you will find the Church of St. James the Greater, at the western end the Church of the Franciscan Monastery, which is dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua. In between are the Old Town Hall and the Marian Column, as well as the Jubilee Fountain and the Falconer's Fountain. And of course lots of shops, cafés and restaurants.

Falconer Fountain, Sokolov

Highlight • Monument

The octagonal fountain with the sculpture of a falconer is closely linked to the legend of the city's founding. It was installed in 1717 at the city's expense. However, it is most likely an older work; the life-size falconer statue itself bears the inscription 1674 on its base and the fountain basin resembles the fountain with tritons in the castle courtyard and dates from 1672 to 1673. The creator of the base, column and shell is considered to be the sculptor Wilhelm Fellsner from Eger, who the city had already commissioned to build the Marian column in 1699. The sculpture itself was created by an unknown folk artist. The falconer is dressed in period costume, he holds a bird of prey in his bent right hand and a hunting dog stands next to his left leg.

Marian Column, Sokolov

Highlight • Monument

On April 2, 1699, the mayor and archdeacon of Sokolov signed a contract with the Cheb sculptor Vilém Felsner (Wilhelm Fellsner) to build the column. The agreed price was 600 guilders, and the column was erected in 1701. A storm on January 17, 1955 tore down the top statue of the Virgin Mary and the statue shattered. Completely illogically and contrary to the iconography, it was replaced by a stone ball. In the years 1994-1996, the Marian column was restored. A copy of the statue of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, created by the sculptor Igor Kalina, was placed on the column.

Old Town Hall Sokolov

Highlight • Historical Site

The Old Town Hall served as the seat of the city administration until the 1950s. After reconstruction between 1994 and 1995, it became the representative headquarters of the brown coal mining company Sokolovská uhelná. The building was built around 1540. During the siege of the city by the Saxon army in 1632, it burned down. In 1794, lightning struck the town hall tower. The tower was rebuilt, but then destroyed by fire in 1873 and not rebuilt after that. It was rebuilt in the classicist style in 1835 and 1836. The building also served as a district court, governor's office, district captain's apartment, city archives, stables, dance hall and prison. The historic town hall has retained many features of its original appearance of the so-called Saxon Renaissance. The Renaissance roof has also been preserved in its original form.
