Discover Hvězdlice

Hvězdlice combines an engaging local history with trails through the municipality. Nové Hvězdlice is particularly interesting: the medieval and early modern town center on the right bank of the Hvězdlička stream is registered as a Category UAN II archaeological area. Archaeological finds have been documented there, or can be expected based on well-founded assumptions. For your stay, this provides a destination where historical traces are visible not only in individual buildings but also in the documented development of the town center.

Archaeological Traces Around Kalvárie

Another historical landmark is the fortress on Kalvárie Hill. It was mentioned in 1411 as deserted or abandoned. It was built approximately in the second half of the 13th century and is associated with the Lords of Deblín. The hill was formerly known as Holá Manda. The fortress is part of an older history of settlement and lordship; its mention in 1411 already records a deserted or abandoned state.

Church, Village Square, and a Historic Boundary Stone

Nové Hvězdlice is home to the Church of St. James the Elder and St. Matthew. The late Baroque building was constructed between 1770 and 1773 based on a design by the Moravian architect and master builder František Antonín Grimm. For visitors interested in culture, the combination of its construction date, style, and named designer is particularly distinctive. It places the church within the architectural history of Moravia without requiring a longer list of sights.

A war memorial from 1922 on the village square commemorates the victims of the First World War. It is made of white marble and is topped by a bronze bust of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. Another historical testimony stands at the edge of the “Oulehle” forest in the municipality of Hvězdlice: the boundary stone bears an engraved chalice, the year 1598, and the inscription “Sylvestr Stigler parochus”. It documents a dispute between the parish and the Augustinian Monastery of St. Thomas in Brno over the parish forest. The recorded local history thus extends from medieval settlement traces to a specifically identified legal and ownership dispute of the early modern period.

Cycling and Hiking Trails in the Municipality

Cycling and hiking trails run through the municipality of Hvězdlice. For a trip focused on active pursuits, this network can be combined with the town’s cultural and historical themes without equating the two areas. In addition, a cycling route from Nové Hvězdlice via Staré Hvězdlice to Pavlovice has been proposed. The status of this connection therefore remains explicitly that of a proposal. If you are looking for a hotel or other accommodation in Hvězdlice, you can base your choice on the preferred mix of local history and trails in the municipality; this does not imply any specific amenities, availability, or distances for individual accommodations.
