Discover Rosice U Brna

Rosice U Brna combines castle culture, historic trails and unusual insights into the landscape. The Zámek Rosice is particularly strikingly situated on a hill above the confluence of the Bobrava and the Říčanský potok. Those choosing a hotel in Rosice U Brna for their stay will find a place where architecture, local history, walks and smaller discoveries can be combined into a variety of day itineraries.

Castle, history and special insights

Zámek Rosice was created around the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries by converting a Gothic castle. The visitor route leads through 21 rooms with richly decorated stucco ceilings, decorative wall paintings and ceilings with Renaissance decoration. The rooms contain period furniture, paintings, hunting trophies, crockery and other historical everyday objects. The castle is registered as a cultural monument and has a rare ensemble of Renaissance and Baroque stucco ceilings.

The visitor attractions at Zámek Rosice also include an atomic shelter built in 1965. This adds an insight into a considerably more recent era to the castle visit. The Včelařské muzeum has a different thematic focus: it has a permanent exhibition and a library of the Czech Beekeepers' Association. It also includes a 19,000 m² open-air museum with modern and historic apiaries. The museum is currently being renovated.

Trails through the landscape and local history

For a longer walk, the Naučná stezka Mizející krajina? connects Rosice with Ostrovačice. The route is about 3.5 kilometres long, leads through fields and follows a green-marked hiking trail. Its stations include a viewing platform over a former pond, a gate at the cadastral boundary and a resting place by the stream next to a covered bridge. The Naučná stezka Rosickou historií takes a different approach: two circuits lead to 12 information panels about historical sights, architecture, notable figures and local traditions of Rosice.

Another historic landmark is the Kaple Nejsvětější Trojice, a Baroque chapel with a triangular floor plan and a crypt. A lime-tree avenue with trees between 80 and 190 years old leads to it. A Stations of the Cross dating from 1773, with 12 stone shrines, runs alongside it. The chapel is regarded as a historic, symbolic landmark of Rosice. The church of sv. Martina is also worth a look for an architectural detail: its nave has a barrel vault with lunettes.

Among the distinctive structures in the surrounding area is the Kamenný most over the Bobrava River. The bridge is cut into the rocky bank and is regarded as a technical construction speciality in the Czech Republic. The Rosická obora also preserves remains of Rosice's historic water supply system, including several ventilation shafts and a Haltýř, where water was collected.

Water, trails and local traditions

The grounds of Koupaliště Zátoka Rosice include a beach volleyball court and a pétanque court. The swimming area purifies its water biologically using a special substrate made from dolomite limestone. There is an integrated public transport connection for reaching this destination: the Rosice, Trávníky stop is served by bus routes 153, 405 and 423.

The Rosické hody also form part of the local character. This is a revived folk and festival tradition. The Rosické hody documented for 2025 included a procession in traditional costumes from the castle courtyard and a blessing in the church of sv. Martina.
