Historical Sites and Cultural Discoveries

An important point of reference in the town is today’s Church of St. James. The foundation stone was laid on 19 June 1748. The original furnishings included a large bell named St. James, dating from 1558. These two dates offer a glimpse into the church’s different historical layers without requiring you to focus your trip on a single historical theme.

The local gallery also contributes to Rybná Nad Zdobnicí’s cultural character. It was established in 1938 from an art collection donated by the local priest and dean, Jan Selichar, and displays works by renowned academic painters from the early 20th century. The Síň Oldřicha Hlavsy in the local gallery opened to the public on 26 July 1986. For your travel planning, this cultural focus can be combined with other historical stops: the so-called Masaryk Villa was built in 1925, while the local chapel dates from 1862.

Anyone interested in regional history can also include the wayside cross in their orientation. It stands to the left of the old road from Vamberk to Žamberk, beyond the fork in the forest. The green-marked hiking trail leads downhill there towards Rybná. Its precise location shows that historical monuments here can be found not only in buildings but also along older routes.
