Radějovice – Farmstead, Chapels and Landscape

Radějovice combines rural architectural history with a landscape of fields, pastures and forests. Farmstead No. 12 and the Chapel of the Virgin Mary provide specific historical points of interest; the surrounding area is well suited to walks and hikes. The location therefore offers two distinct focuses: architectural history in the village or activities in the surrounding countryside.

Buildings and local history

Rural Farmstead No. 12 is one of the region’s preserved historic monuments. It is located on the village square, north of the church. The relationship between the village square, church and farmstead provides a specific point of reference for the village’s history, while its status as a preserved monument underscores its cultural and historical value.

In front of the Chapel of the Virgin Mary stands a cast-iron cross on a stone pedestal. The chapel is a simple rectangular building with a small bell tower on the roof ridge. Its basic shape and roof structure are two distinct architectural features; the cross adds details about the material and location. The roof ridge is the roof’s upper line, making the position of the small bell tower clear.

Radějovice has two chapels dating from the 19th century. In front of house No. 18 stands a niche chapel built in 1895. Radějovice was first mentioned in writing in 1334. These dates refer to different historical milestones: 1895 dates a specific building, while 1334 marks the village’s first written mention. This distinguishes the building history from the village chronology.

Landscape and walks

The area around Radějovice includes fields, pastures and forests. The surroundings are well suited to walks and hikes, offering a rural setting for spending time outdoors. The landscape is a travel experience in its own right, alongside the village’s historic buildings: you can choose to focus on local history or activities in the surrounding area.

An unnamed stream flows through Radějovice and is a right-bank tributary of the Cehnický potok. The stream is therefore not the same as the Cehnický potok; it flows into that watercourse as a right-bank tributary. This distinction helps differentiate the local stream from the watercourse it flows into.

Getting there and accommodation

A Class III road runs through Radějovice. The Strakonice–Netonice bus route also stops here. These are two different points of reference for getting there: the road passes through the village, while the bus route includes a stop in Radějovice. As routes and services may change, check the latest route and timetable information before travelling.

If you are looking for a hotel in Radějovice, first decide whether local history or spending time outdoors will be the main focus of your stay. The farmstead and chapel offer specific points of interest for culture enthusiasts; walks and hikes suit those looking to explore the surroundings.
