Brodek U Prostějova between the church, chateau and ceramic history

If you are looking for a place in the Czech Republic with a variety of cultural discoveries, you can consider including historic buildings, a fire brigade museum and a cycle route in your plans here. The themes range from the history of the parish church to the traditional production of jugs and ceramics.

Church and crafts as historical points of reference

At the heart of Brodek u Prostějova stands the Parish Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. It was blessed on 4 November 1721. The construction and furnishing of the new Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross were completed in 1726. This means that two important dates in the town's history can be read from a specific building: the blessing and the subsequent completion of construction and furnishing.

The local craft tradition also goes back a long way. The historical production of jugs and ceramics in Brodek u Prostějova began in 1743. This focus complements the sacred perspective on the town with an insight into a past shaped by craftsmanship. Visitors who want to understand not only individual sights but also the development of a place can thus gain a broader picture of the local history.

Chateau complex, park and archaeological traces

The Brodek u Prostějova chateau complex includes a landscape park, farm buildings, a garden pavilion, a courtyard well, two statues of women, five vases and an enclosing wall. The chateau park currently covers 3 hectares. The individual elements make the complex a place where architecture, designed landscape and decorative features can be viewed together. A visit to Chateau Brodek is possible by individual arrangement.

Since 2025, Chateau Brodek has also been presented as a venue for weddings, corporate events, celebrations and cultural projects. This use describes the chateau's current public orientation without overshadowing the historic character of the complex. Another historical layer is provided by the archaeological monumental site in Brodek u Prostějova: bell beaker artefacts were ritually deposited there, and a large collection of vessels was also found.

A museum and cycle route for different day-trip ideas
