Discover Sedlec: Prčice, Culture and Historic Trails

Sedlec and Prčice can be explored for trip planning through a specific historic structure and several cultural and active experiences. The Karla Burky Bridge was completed in 1822 as a direct connection between Sedlec and Prčice. In Sedlec, the Vítek z Prčice Brewery complements this local connection with unfiltered yeast beer; in Prčice, there are historic buildings and the starting point of an educational trail.

The connection between Sedlec and Prčice

The Karla Burky Bridge is a 200 m long masonry bridge with three arched openings. Its date and architectural form make it a clearly identifiable connecting point between the two places. If you take historic structures into account when choosing your activities, this individual building, with its direct connection to Sedlec and Prčice, is the focal point here.

Prčice lies in a basin locally known as “Český Merán.” At Vítkovo náměstí, House No. 6 is part of the oldest historic development; since 2009, it has been listed as a cultural monument. The reference to the square and house number gives you a precise point of reference for the historic side of the destination.

Historic discoveries in Prčice

The Church of Saint Lawrence in Prčice is originally Romanesque; it was founded in the 12th century or possibly as early as the 11th century. Every year, the church hosts a concert as part of the Czech Organ Festival. This allows you to consider historic architecture and a recurring musical theme together.

The historic selection also includes the Plague Chapel in Prčice and the Prčice château building. The chapel was built after the plague epidemic of 1680 and is a protected monument. The Prčice château building contains a very well-preserved, late Gothic, two-storey fortress. The periods represented therefore range from the plague history of the 17th century to late Gothic architectural history.

Educational trail, march and route from the north

The educational trail “From the Vítkov Rose to the Miraculous Spring” has Vítkovo náměstí in Prčice as its first stop. It is 7.3 km long and runs through the immediate surroundings of Sedlec-Prčice. Another fixed point of reference is the Praha–Prčice March: it takes place annually on the third Saturday in May and has a history dating back to 1966. In addition, the Sedlčany-Robinova Route leads from the north to Prčice and begins in Sedlčany. This allows you to distinguish between three different details: a 7.3 km educational trail, an annually scheduled march, and a route starting in Sedlčany.

Local flavor and further research

The Vítek z Prčice Brewery in Sedlec brews unfiltered yeast beer, creating its own culinary accent. Other places for your research include Drásov, Osečany, Chotilsko, Drhovy, Oboz, Těchařovice, Drahlín and Malá Hrastice.
