Horní Heršpice – Local History, Church and Golf

Explore Horní Heršpice through several specific interests: local history, an educational trail for walks and golf. There is also the Church of St. Clement Maria Hofbauer, with its distinctive altar relief. When planning a stay, you can first consider whether you are more interested in history and church art, a walking trip or golf.

On foot along the educational trail

The Naučná stezka Jihem educational trail runs through Komárov and Horní Heršpice. It was created to encourage families to take walking trips. This makes it a specific point of interest for anyone wanting to include a walk in their travel plans. Its route through two named places gives the trail a distinct local connection. As a travel interest, it offers a different focus from church art or golf: here, the emphasis is on getting around on foot.

Local history in two dates

Horní Heršpice was first mentioned in writing in 1289. In 1645, during the siege by the Swedes, the village was completely destroyed and its inhabitants dispersed. The two dates mark different chapters in the area’s history: its first written mention and a major turning point during the siege. Anyone interested in the area’s past will find a concise historical context here, which can be linked to its other cultural themes.

The church and its altar relief

The Church of St. Clement Maria Hofbauer stands on Bednářova Street in Brno-Horní Heršpice. On October 27, 1912, the church was consecrated by Brno Bishop Pavel Huyn. One distinctive feature of its interior is the Art Nouveau marble altar, which bears a sandstone relief depicting St. Clement Maria Hofbauer among worshippers and children. The combination of the marble altar and sandstone relief brings architecture and imagery together; the saint is shown among the people also depicted in the relief. Along with its location and consecration date, the church therefore offers a specific point of interest for anyone interested in cultural history.

Golf in Horní Heršpice

In addition to practice areas, Kšírovka Golf Academy offers a six-hole golf course open to the public. Its par-3 holes range from 48 to 134 metres in length. The details on the number of holes, par and length give the golf offering a concrete profile and make it a distinct focus for travel planning.
