Village green and local history
Subschitz retains the layout of a village founded around a circular green; the arrangement is still recognizable today. A wooden bell tower stands on the village green. This brings the shape of the settlement and a single historic structure together in one place. The first written mention of Subschitz dates to 1358 and is associated with the Lords of Pořešín.
Markvartice also has the circular layout of a village green. The grassy green is surrounded by lime trees and large farmsteads that point to the original settlement layout. In Subschitz, the recognizable plan and wooden bell tower shape the village green; in Markvartice, it is the green space, lime trees and farmsteads.
Markvartice is also home to the Chapel of the Virgin Mary. The chapel dates to 1873 and has been restored. Its historicist style features Baroque and neoclassical elements. In Subschitz, house No. 12 is a cultural monument.
Leisure and cultural heritage
Pflégrův mlýn is a large farmstead associated with the Zubčický potok. It was built in 1867 by miller Jan Pfleger (1816–1889).
Above the village, the tennis courts of TJ Zubčice form a fenced complex with changing rooms and a technical building. They are mainly used for recreational sport. If tennis is part of your plans, confirm the current operating conditions before your visit.
