Discover Domaželice: Local History and River Landscape

Domaželice Between Local History and River Landscape

Domaželice combines prominent examples of local history with a clearly recognizable setting alongside two waterways. This creates a destination that is not defined by just one attraction: around the church, you will encounter historic details, while the Moštěnka and Šišemka rivers place the landscape in its geographical context. Accommodation in Domaželice can therefore be chosen according to different interests—with a focus on culture, a local event, or getting oriented in the rural surroundings.

Baroque Church and Historic Details

The Church of St. James the Greater in Domaželice is a Baroque building on older foundations. At the end of the 18th century, the church was expanded with side chapels. This building history makes it a specific cultural reference point for the village: the older origin and the later Baroque extension represent two different phases brought together in a single building.

Next to the church in Domaželice, at the former cemetery, there is a children's monument in the form of a cross with a verse inscription dating from 1826. The statue of St. John of Nepomuk also stands by the church. A chronogram dates it to 1723, and it was moved to the park beside the church in autumn 1959. For families and other people traveling together, such details offer various points of interest: the children's monument, the inscription, and the statue's later relocation each tell a separate part of the village's history.

Local Events and Municipal Venue

A culinary event is also part of the documented local scene. Domaželický guláš took place in Domaželice in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Domaželický guláš adds a different emphasis from the church monuments while also broadening the local scene with a culinary dimension. Those looking for a time-specific local event when planning their trip will find a concrete connection to the municipality here. In addition, Výletiště Orlák is a municipal venue offered for one-day rentals. Its function is therefore clearly distinct from the historic buildings and monuments in the village.

Moštěnka, Šišemka, and the Location on II/150

The Moštěnka River flows south of most of Domaželice. At the eastern edge of Domaželice, the Šišemka stream flows into the Moštěnka. These two waterways provide the surroundings with precise geographical orientation and complement the cultural and historical topics with a landscape perspective.

Road II/150 is also important for understanding the area's wider geographical setting. It runs through Domaželice and connects Přerov with Bystřice pod Hostýnem. When looking for accommodation, you can therefore first decide which aspect is most important for your stay: the sites around the church, a local event, or the village's location between the waterways and the regional road connection.
