Discover Přestavlky U Dnešic

Přestavlky U Dnešic combines sacred history, castle culture, small local districts and a designated cycling route. If you are looking for a place with a variety of discoveries for your trip, you can choose between historical details, impressions of the landscape and a bicycle tour through several local districts. The interplay between Přestavlky, Horní Lažany and Dolní Lažany is particularly interesting: each of these places contributes its own clearly documented aspect to your travel planning.

Church and castle as cultural landmarks

The Kostel sv. Petra a Pavla church dates back to the first half of the 14th century. Its present appearance also bears traces of a later renovation: between 1680 and 1682, it was remodelled in the Baroque style before being refurnished in 1685. This means that medieval origins and Baroque alterations meet in a single building.

Access for visitors is clearly regulated. The Kostel sv. Petra a Pavla church can be visited by prior arrangement and during services. Anyone wishing to include this cultural stop in their itinerary should therefore plan their visit around an arrangement or a service and not assume that the church is open for visits at all times.

Another historical landmark is Přestavlky Castle. It stands on the site of a former courtyard belonging to Chotěšov Monastery. In the open space opposite the castle, there is also a copy of the statue of Saint Liborius on a Baroque pedestal. The castle site and the statue thus provide two different historical references: one points to the former use of the site, while the other creates a visible feature in the public space.

Two local districts with their own character

A detour to Horní Lažany leads below the wooded Černé vrchy massif. A wooden bell tower dating from 1899 stands there. This is a small, locally specific feature, but it complements the larger historical landmarks of the church and castle with an example of regional architectural and village history.

Dolní Lažany present a different townscape. The local district consists of a cluster of several farmsteads around a small pond. A masonry chapel dating from 1905 has also been preserved within the enclosure of a farmstead. For planning your excursion, this creates a clear contrast between the wooded surroundings of Horní Lažany and the arrangement in Dolní Lažany, shaped by farmsteads and water.

A cycling route through Přestavlky and Lažany

There is also a specific option for exploring the area by bicycle: the “Pohodová” cycling route of the Radbuza Microregion runs through Přestavlky as well as Dolní Lažany and Horní Lažany. The route thus connects the three places within a single itinerary, so you do not have to limit yourself to just one sightseeing spot.

The Horní Lažany district also has a bicycle service point. It offers a clear map and the tools needed for bicycle repairs. For cycle tourists, this is therefore not merely an entry on the map, but also a specific, equipped point of orientation. The combination of the route and service point makes cycling a well-documented way to discover the various facets of Přestavlky U Dnešic.
