Bernartice

Bernartice is a destination for travelers who want to discover local history not merely as a single year, but as a succession of changes in ownership, vanished buildings, and archaeological connections. This historical perspective is complemented by a specific opportunity to meet people and animals in the village. This makes it possible to shape your stay around cultural history and a special experience in a rural setting.

From the First Record to the Vanished Manor House

Bernartice was first mentioned in writing in 1577. Until the first half of the 17th century, the village belonged to the Boříkovy estate, before Bernartice later became an independent estate. Magdalena Perglarová was the first owner of this independent estate. This sequence makes it clear that the history of the village is not limited to a single era: Bernartice changed affiliations and developed its own historical trajectory as a result.

The Baroque manor house in Bernartice also represents this eventful past. Its first written appearance dates to 1798. The building fell into disrepair because the successive owners did not live there. In 1851, Baron Benard Kleis bought Bernartice; the village was subsequently incorporated into the Mlázovy estate. For the present-day perspective, the loss of the building is particularly significant: the exact location of the former manor house in Bernartice can no longer be determined today.

Visitors to Bernartice therefore encounter its history mainly through its documented stages, rather than through a preserved manor house whose rooms could be visited.

Archaeological Connections around Bernartice u Boříkov

In addition to its history of ownership and buildings, there is another cultural perspective. The modern-era center of Bernartice u Boříkov is listed as an archaeological site. This gives the local history an additional dimension that extends beyond individual owners and estates. Za Pazdernou is also associated with the archaeological sites of Bernartice u Boříkov. ZSV Vidhošť is likewise connected with the archaeological classification of Bernartice u Boříkov. These names are therefore part of the documented archaeological classification of the village, without this implying a present-day sightseeing opportunity or an operating museum.

LamaDorádo: Visits by Prior Arrangement

LamaDorádo is an animal husbandry business in Bernartice specializing in llama breeding. Visitors can see the llamas at the farm by prior arrangement. For your travel planning, the form of the visit is therefore crucial: the opportunity to see the llama breeding operation requires prior coordination and should accordingly be scheduled as a separate appointment.

Another Point of Orientation: Kolinec

Kolinec offers an additional perspective. Kolinec is the center of a developing recreational area connected to a network of cycling and riding trails. Those who wish to include cycling or horseback riding alongside history when choosing the surrounding area for their trip therefore have an independent starting point for further research. The other destinations to consider when planning your trip are Zavlekov, Břežany, Klenová, Chlistov, Komušín, Hojsova Stráž and Petrovice U Sušice.
