Třebovle: Archaeological Traces, St. Bartholomew and Educational Trail

Třebovle combines a rural village character with a multilayered history. Archaeological settlement traces can be found in the historic centre, while the 20-kilometre Lipanská mohyla educational trail offers another perspective. This gives you a destination that combines historical orientation with a clearly defined route.

Archaeological Traces Around the Village Square

The archaeological area in the historic centre of Třebovle contains settlement traces of the Linear Pottery culture, the Bell Beaker culture, the Lusatian culture and the Knovíz culture, as well as traces from the transition between the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. It is located around Třebovle village square on the road to Kouřim. This connection with the village centre helps you initially locate the different layers of time in one place rather than viewing them as separate topics.

St. Bartholomew and St. John of Nepomuk

The Church of St. Bartholomew is a notable early Gothic building, constructed towards the end of the second third of the 13th century. The complex of the church, cemetery wall with gate and bell tower is listed as an immovable cultural monument of the Czech Republic. Once a year, a pilgrimage mass is held in the church on the feast of Saint Bartholomew. The Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk contains a Baroque group of figures made from red Nučice sandstone, dated to 1727. Different forms of religious and architectural history thus come to the fore.

Sázavský dvůr and the Agricultural Character

Třebovle is predominantly agricultural in character. Sázavský dvůr is also part of the village’s history: In 1772, the abbot of the nearby Sázavský klášter, Leandr Kramář, bought two previously separate farmsteads and united them into a single estate, which has been called Sázavský dvůr ever since. The building of the Lower Court (Dolní dvůr) at Sázavský dvůr is currently not open to the public. The estate’s historical background and current access to the building are therefore two separate aspects to consider when finding your way around.

Educational Trail and Connections

The Lipanská mohyla educational trail connects Třebovle with Klášterní Skalice and passes through Lipany and Vitice; the described route covers 20 kilometres. The fixed length gives you a clear scale for planning your own trip without making assumptions about walking times or difficulty levels. At 20 kilometres, the route should be planned as a longer excursion, not a short walk around the village centre. Bus connections link Třebovle with surrounding towns as well as with Kolín, Český Brod and Kouřim. When choosing where to stay, you can therefore distinguish between the village’s history and a longer connection through several places.

Choose Accommodation According to Your Main Interest

If you are looking for a hotel in Třebovle, first decide what your main focus is: Should the historic centre with its archaeological traces and religious buildings be the centre of attention, or is the 20-kilometre Lipanská mohyla educational trail the most important point of reference? Třebovle’s agricultural character, its architectural history and the route provide three clearly distinguishable points of orientation.
