Dobronice between Nature Park and Local History

The Rokytná, Dobronický potok and the Chapel of Blessed Jan Sarkander give Dobronice a character shaped by nature and local history. The cadastral area is part of Rokytná Nature Park; outside the built-up area, the landscape is shaped by agriculture. In the village, the chapel offers a glimpse into a history whose traces span the 13th to the 19th century.

Waterways and Rokytná Nature Park

Rokytná Nature Park encompasses the cadastral area of Dobronice and protects the landscape character of an area with distinctive aesthetic and natural values. Across the wider nature park, the scenery is shaped by rolling hills and the striking valley cut by the Rokytná, with its many meanders. In the valley, broad floodplains and meadows alternate with more deeply incised stretches, where the banks are often rocky.

The Rokytná flows through the northern part of the Dobronice cadastral area and is part of a European Natura 2000 site. Dobronický potok flows through the village. Outside the built-up area, the landscape is agricultural. For planning your trip, you can distinguish between the wider landscape setting of the nature park and the waterways in the cadastral area and village.

The chapel and the village’s history

The Chapel of Blessed Jan Sarkander stands in the western part of Dobronice, on the village green in a park among mature trees. It dates from the 19th century and was built to house an older Baroque statue of Blessed Jan Sarkander. The chapel also served as a bell tower. Its construction date, purpose and additional function make it a distinctive landmark in the village’s history.

Dobronice is first mentioned in 1283. A fortress stood on the left bank of the stream, within the grounds of a farmstead. Together with the chapel, these details offer different historical perspectives: the first mention dates back a long way, while the chapel’s construction history connects the 19th century with an even older statue.
