Střílky

A former market town on the north-western slopes of the Chřiby hills, about 25 km south-west of Kroměříž. It grew up below a castle that guarded the road across the Chřiby in the 13th century; only fragments of its walls survive today. The village has the Baroque church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, consecrated in 1770, and a chateau with a park.

The main attraction for visitors is the Baroque cemetery from 1730–1743, built by Antonín Amand Petřvaldský. It is enclosed by a high sandstone wall with a balustrade and decorated with statues of the virtues and vices by Gottfried Fritsch. An educational trail leads from the village into the Chřiby forests.
