Kaceřov

Worth a visit

Kaceřov (German: Katzengrün) is a village in the Sokolov District of the Karlovy Vary Region. The first written mention of the village dates back to 1312. It is found in a document documenting disputes over the courtyards between the monastery in Waldsassen and the sons of the deceased owner Jindřich Limberger. The Baroque chateau under reconstruction can be easily found on the village square. It is part of a farmstead opposite the municipal office.

Kaceřov Castle

We will also notice the Baroque column of the Holy Trinity and the chapel of the Holy Trinity on the bank of the Libocký stream. A picturesque nook. At the exit from the village, there is a Baroque statue of Anthony of Padua holding a child on a closed book. On the slope above the castle pond, there are still remains of a circular fortress. The fortress had a diameter of 18 meters. The central hill of the ringwall has dimensions of ten by eleven meters and rises two meters above its surroundings. However, written sources for the oldest Kaceřov fortress have not been preserved.
