Nová Ves: Village Square, Chapel and Children's Festivities

Nová Ves can be explored through several distinctive local features: a well-kept village square with a pond and plenty of greenery, a chapel with a bell tower, and memorials from different periods. There are also two annual events for children. Those interested in local history, community celebrations and the surrounding landscape will find several points of interest here.

Village Square and Connection to the Landscape

The well-kept village square brings together a pond and plenty of greenery as a central feature of the village. Alongside its historical memorials, it gives the village its own landscape-shaped character. In Nová Ves, both built heritage and the design of the village square are part of the picture.

Přírodní park Džbán (Džbán Nature Park) is also part of the area's geographical setting: its boundary runs through Nová Ves. This is a tangible connection to the protected landscape, adding another perspective to the village.

Chapel, History and Memorials

The first written mention of Nová Ves dates to 1347. The village's main landmark is a chapel with a bell tower, dating approximately to the 18th century. These are two distinct points in time: the village's early written mention and the approximate date of the chapel.

The chapel also appears on the municipal coat of arms. In its garden stands a wooden cross bearing a figure of Christ, above which the crown of a young linden tree spreads out. These details are part of the described appearance of the chapel and its garden.

A memorial near the chapel commemorates local victims of the First World War. It depicts the silhouette of Prague Castle and a French legionnaire. Its dedication and the two motifs shown give the memorial a distinct historical connection within the village's history.

Another cross is located in the vicinity of Nová Ves: in a forest at a place called “U Křížku,” two other crosses stand beside a wooden cross. This landmark is near the village, not at the chapel. The distinction helps keep the memorials in the village separate from the crosses in the surrounding area.

Events and Sports Court

Dětský den (Children's Day) takes place every year in June. Mikulášská nadílka (St. Nicholas celebration) for children is held annually in December. The two festivities offer different seasonal reference points for planning a trip. If you would like to time your visit to coincide with one of the events, check the exact date in advance.

At the edge of Nová Ves is the paved multi-purpose sports court, Víceúčelové hřiště. It is locked; the key and sports equipment can be borrowed from the municipal office by arrangement. If you plan to use the court, arrange to borrow them in advance. Access and use therefore depend on the stated arrangement, rather than being open to everyone.
