Paceřice – Rohanka, Husa and the Way to Sychrov Castle

Paceřice combines a listed historic setting with preserved rural architecture and a specific walking route towards Sychrov Castle. The contrast between the straight Linden Avenue of Rohanka, the historic houses in Paceřice and Husa, and small stories about water, craftsmanship, and literature is particularly appealing. This makes it possible to understand the area not only as a place to stay, but also as a starting point for various discoveries.

Along Rohanka towards Sychrov

Rohanka is a four-row lime-tree avenue planted in 1850. At the end of this avenue is the “Paceřice, Rohanka” bus stop, which leads directly towards Sychrov Castle. From there, a walk runs through the lime-tree avenue to the rear gate of Sychrov Park. This gate is closed to the public. Anyone walking around the park on this route can go around it on the left or take a less frequented path on the right. The route is therefore both a clearly recognizable landscape impression and an important point of orientation for anyone wishing to connect Paceřice with the surroundings of Sychrov.

The legally protected historic zone of Sychrov Castle, designated in 1977, also runs through the area of Paceřice. It extends to part of the Husa settlement as well. Here, the term refers to a protected historic area: not just a single building, but also its surroundings and their established structure form part of the described history of the place.

Timber-framed Houses and Stories from Husa

A number of timber-framed houses from the 19th century have survived in Paceřice to this day. Their construction is clearly visible: the traditional buildings are long, two-storey, and have gabled roofs. Stables and farm buildings adjoin their ground floors. For a walking tour, this means that the history of the area is not only reflected in individual names, but can also be understood from the form of the houses.

Villa Fialka, house number 17, stands in Husa. It was originally the residence of Vojtěch Mašek, the gardener at Sychrov Castle. The Bušek family later lived there. Its members included the writer and translator Karel Bušek, who published under the pseudonym Bohdan Kaminský. Petr Bušek is also connected with the history of the area: the creator of the castle’s wood carvings worked from 1856 at the brickyard in the village of Husa. There he founded a company that was successfully continued after his death by his sons Dominik and Konstantin.

Water, Craftsmanship, and Place Names

Several details add to the historical picture of Paceřice and Husa. The strong springs in Studnice were formerly the most important source of drinking water for all of Paceřice. They gave their name to the settlement belonging to the municipality; this significance explicitly forms part of the earlier history of the place. Husa, in turn, owes its name to the U Divoké husy inn. It was built together with a smithy and several small houses.

Paceřice also offers a distinctly different accent for a summer day: in summer, the fire pond becomes a welcome place for cooling off and playing in the water. Together with the lime-tree avenue, the timber-framed houses, and the stories from Husa, this creates a stay that combines observing nature, local history, and a simple outdoor activity.

The Right Accommodation for Your Days of Discovery

If you are looking for a hotel or other accommodation in Paceřice, you can choose the area according to your preferred daily rhythm. Rohanka and the route towards Sychrov Castle stand for a walk with a clear historical focus. Paceřice and Husa, by contrast, draw attention to timber-framed houses, villas, craftsmanship, and the origins of individual place names. In summer, the fire pond adds a special waterside destination. This keeps the choice of where to stay closely connected with the experiences you actually want to discover in Paceřice.
