Discover Záboří U Českých Budějovic

A Village Square Steeped in History

Záboří U Českých Budějovic welcomes you with a spacious village square whose agricultural layout defines the character of the place. Here, you can gain a vivid insight into its history: the appearance of the village is shaped not by a single building, but by the interplay of farmsteads, the stream, and small religious monuments.

The village square is enclosed by three regular rows of farmsteads. Their gables face the square and give the ensemble a clearly recognisable structure. The regular layout provides a good starting point for viewing the square from different angles and appreciating the gables as a unified frontage. The wooden farmsteads and cottages in Záboří were gradually rebuilt in solid masonry during the second half of the 19th century. As a result, older rural building traditions and later solid buildings meet in one place.

The foundations also reach far back into the past: the masonry buildings in Záboří were built on stone foundations dating from the 13th century. If you are travelling with children or across several generations, this detail makes it easy to understand that local history can be read not only in major sights, but also in building forms and materials.

Agricultural Heritage and Small Details

Záboří has a valuable ensemble of agricultural farmsteads with granaries, most of which date from the mid-19th century. The barns stand on the outer edge of the settlement. This means that the traditional layout of the village is evident not only around the central square, but also in the arrangement of its agriculturally oriented buildings.

A stream flows through Záboří’s village square. Unique wayside shrines dating from 1852 arch over the stream. This combination of the watercourse and small religious monuments gives the village centre a distinctive detail that you can look out for during a walk.

East of Záboří, on the road towards České Budějovice, stands a small brick chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It adds another clear landmark to the village while allowing Záboří to retain its character as a rural settlement.

A Place with Its Own Film History

Záboří also has a special connection to the world of film: the comedy Babovřesky was filmed in Záboří. This links the historic village setting with a more recent cultural trace. You can therefore discover the place both from the perspective of its architectural history and with an interest in its cinematic renown.
