Discover Nová Sídla

Nová Sídla combines a small-scale local history with a distinctly rural setting. Between historical traces, the Loučná north of the village and paths through the cadastral area, it offers a destination for anyone who wants to combine culture and landscapes during their stay. It is particularly interesting that the history here cannot be read from just a single building, but from several different sites.

Historical Traces Around Nová Sídla

A prominent cultural landmark is the Chapel of St. Anne. It was built in 1876, representing a comparatively recent, clearly datable phase of the village's history. Another historical trace is the war grave or memorial to the victims of the First World War, which dates from 1921. The two sites offer different points of emphasis: the chapel refers to the architectural history of the village, while the memorial commemorates the consequences of the First World War.

A valuable Baroque barn was built on the grounds of the former Sedlíšťka fortress in the 18th century. A round castle plateau surrounded by a moat and small sections of wall have also survived from the former fortress. Sedlíšťka therefore offers an illustrative juxtaposition of later Baroque architecture and older fortification traces. If you and your family enjoy discovering tangible historical features, this site can be included as a separate focus in your exploration of Nová Sídla, without requiring an extensive collection of sights.

River Landscape and Rural Character

The Loučná flows north of Nová Sídla. A regional biocorridor has been designated along the river, part of which extends into the municipal area. Here, the term refers to a defined landscape connection along the river; it is therefore primarily an indication of the particular spatial classification of this section. For you, the Loučná can consequently serve as a natural point of orientation if you want to get to know the village not only through its buildings but also through its surroundings.

Nová Sídla is situated in a landscape shaped by forestry and agriculture, as well as by agriculture. This combination gives the village a clear rural setting and distinguishes it from a stay focused primarily on urban culture or attractions located close together. Those planning a trip with changing points of emphasis can combine local history, landscapes and activity in Nová Sídla.

Exploring on Foot or by Bike

A marked red hiking trail runs through Sedlíšťka. Its importance for orientation lies in its direct connection with the historical site: a visit to the former fortress can thereby be combined with a hike. Cycle Route 4021 also runs through the cadastral area of Nová Sídla. This documents two different ways of exploring the area: a marked red hiking trail associated with Sedlíšťka and a designated cycle route in the wider cadastral area of Nová Sídla. You can therefore plan your day around either a walking or hiking focus or a bike tour, without the village being limited to just one type of experience.

A Place with Several Organic Components

The present-day settlement of Nová Sídla developed in approximately three construction phases. Its parts include Stará strana, Kozí hřbet and Ovčí. Together with the Chapel of St. Anne, the 1921 memorial and the traces of Sedlíšťka, they create a village landscape in which different historical layers stand side by side.

Practical Information in the Village

The Nová Sídla municipal library is located on the first floor of the fire station. It has a computer and a printer and offers public internet access. For you, this information can provide a useful local point of contact during a longer stay, especially if you need to carry out digital research or print something. Opening hours and further services are not specified; the available information concerns the location, technical facilities and public internet access.
