Popovičky

The Church of St Bartholomew and its protected complex

Listed in the national heritage register, the protected complex includes the church, an ossuary, an enclosure wall and two gates. The protected ensemble therefore extends beyond the church building: the other listed structures are also part of it.

The church was rebuilt and extended between 1731 and 1736 at the initiative of the parish priest Jan Antonín Horník. This period marks a specific phase of construction associated with Horník’s initiative. For those interested in cultural history, the composition of the complex and the church’s building history emerge as two distinct aspects.

Remembrance and architecture in the town

An information-board installation about the Heydrichiáda stands by the Lidická hrušeň in Popovičky. It adds a distinct theme of remembrance to the architectural history. The rectory also has architectural features of interest: it retains remnants of its original painted decoration and a cosy attic apartment.

These points highlight different aspects: the information about the Heydrichiáda is the focus at the Lidická hrušeň, while parts of the original painted decoration survive in the rectory. Together with the church complex, they offer several clearly distinct themes for exploring Popovičky from a cultural-history perspective.

Cycling route following in the footsteps of the Ringhoffer family

A cycling tour following in the footsteps of the Ringhoffer family passes through Popovičky and continues to Předboř and Velké Popovice, ending at the modern Velkopopovický Kozel brewery. Popovičky is thus part of a route whose connection to the Ringhoffer family extends beyond the town.

The brewery offers guided tours covering the history of brewing, production, the Ringhoffer family and present-day operations. The cycling route and the tour offer different perspectives: the route connects several places, while the tour explores topics related to brewing traditions and production. If this combination interests you, you can take both aspects into account separately when planning your trip.

Events and an important crossing

Events for children and adults are among the most frequently attended events in the municipality of Popovičky. These include children’s days, Huntovické lávky, dance events, a lantern procession and various sports competitions. The programme ranges from children’s events and community gatherings to sporting contests. If you want to attend a particular event, check its date before your trip.

The Pod Skalkou footbridge is important for crossing the Chomutovický potok: on 1 June 2026, the municipality reported that it was closed due to its poor condition. A full reconstruction is being coordinated with the building authority. Check the crossing’s status before your visit.
