Discover Zbraslavice

Zbraslavice combines history, regional brewing tradition, water and unusual leisure activities within a small area. St. Lawrence Church, Zámecký pivovar Zbraslavice, the Rybník Pavlovka bathing pond and the Aeroclub each offer a different focus. For your travel planning, this means you can combine cultural discoveries, a local specialty and relaxation in one place, without limiting your choice to just one type of experience.

Church and Local History

One notable cultural landmark is St. Lawrence Church. It features old Baroque carved pews and a pewter baptismal font dated 1602. Its 30-meter-high tower carries four bells, originally dating from 1594 and recast after the fire of 1809. On the northwest side, two small round-arched windows and another pointed-arch window opening have also been preserved. This means that within the same building you can encounter artistic craftsmanship, a specific historical date and visible traces of different construction phases.

The history of the town also reaches far back. A fire on April 13, 1496 destroyed almost the entire small town of Zbraslavice, while the fortress survived. The Muzeum Ostrov lidových krojů offers another way to explore the past. It is housed in a former farm building that was used mainly as a cowshed and stable; the central part of the building was residential. The building’s former use is therefore directly connected with the character of this museum site.

Bohemian Brewing Tradition

The Zámecký pivovar Zbraslavice brewery continues the brewing tradition in Zbraslavice, whose origins date back to the 16th century. Zámecký pivovar Zbraslavice brews beer in Bohemia using the original traditional decoction method. For anyone who wants to combine regional cuisine and local production with their choice of destination, this aspect offers a clearly recognizable Bohemian specialty.

Water and Landscape Around Zbraslavice

Rybník Pavlovka, a bathing pond for relaxation, lies on the edge of the Zbraslavice municipal area. It has grassy areas for resting and slides. This creates a clear contrast with the historical sites in the town and complements them with time spent by the water.

In the vicinity of Zbraslavice are the U Rápošova [Zbraslavice] hill, the U Silnice [Zbraslavice-Hodkov] hill and the Holý vrch [Zbraslavice-Krasoňovice] hill. Mount Ostojovka [Ledeč nad Sázavou-Souboř] is located in the area around Zbraslavice. Loreta Church is situated in the wider regional surroundings. These different names and spatial classifications help you distinguish between the immediate vicinity and the broader area for excursions when planning your trip.

Gliding and Special Experiences

The Zbraslavice Aeroclub offers opportunities for gliding, powered flight and model aviation. As part of “Pilotem na víkend,” the Aeroclub also offers the public the opportunity to become an Aeroclub member for a weekend. Alongside the church, museum, brewery and bathing pond, this provides an experience for visitors interested in aviation and air sports.
