Discover VÅ¡esulov

Všesulov combines a distinctive valley landscape, a church with medieval origins and an annual local tradition. If you would like to combine nature, local history and tradition with your family, you can discover the village through three different approaches: the Šípský Stream and Všesulovský Pond, St. Martin’s Church with its long building history, and the Masopust procession as a time-specific event. This places an interest in nature, historical discoveries and a living tradition side by side, without one topic overshadowing the others. For travel planning, you can therefore choose your focus according to your interests: the landscape, church and local history, or a specific date in the annual calendar.

Landscape between Valley and Pond

The Šípský Stream flows through Všesulov as a tributary of the Javornice and crosses the area diagonally from northwest to southeast in a relatively deep valley. The landscape is therefore shaped not only by a body of water but also by a clearly defined valley direction. Všesulovský Pond complements this landscape. It is one of Všesulov’s natural and landscape features and stands as a pond alongside the valley shaped by the stream. If you would like to compare different natural settings during your stay, this comparison takes you from the linear valley landscape to an independent landscape feature.

St. Martin’s Church: Medieval Origins and Baroque Reconstruction

St. Martin’s Church in Všesulov was built as a parish church in the 14th century. After the destruction during the Thirty Years’ War, Karel Maxmilián Lažanský had the church rebuilt in the Baroque style. Its history therefore encompasses a medieval beginning and a later Baroque transformation, separated by a specific historical turning point. This gives you a cultural focus that does not stop at a single year of construction: the church combines its early function as a parish church with its development after the wartime destruction. Those who enjoy viewing historic places across several periods can therefore use St. Martin’s to explore the building’s transformation over time as part of the local history.

Masopust and a Memorial Site

Another form of local history and identity is represented by the annual Masopust procession. The procession stops in VÅ¡esulov; on March 1, 2025, people in masks made a stop there. Unlike the permanent valley landscape and the church, Masopust is tied to a recurring, dated event. This creates a clear contrast when choosing your interests: nature and architectural history can be considered lasting themes of the village, while the procession represents a time-specific traditional experience. If you would like to combine different kinds of discoveries with your family, Masopust complements the exploration of the landscape and culture with a date featuring a lively local tradition.

At the turnoff to Šípy in Všesulov stands a memorial to the fallen. It adds another historical reference point to St. Martin’s Church and is therefore one of the village’s independent memorial sites.
