Discover Petrikovice

Petrikovice offers a focus on cultural history that can be explored through specific architectural forms. In Levínské Petrovice, a chapel, a bell tower, and traditional houses represent different materials and periods of construction. Wood, rendered stone, thatched roofing, and stucco appear in several distinct examples. Rather than a single, uniform architectural style, visitors can compare a range of details, from a cast-iron cross dating from 1859 to log houses from the 18th and 19th centuries. This offers travelers interested in rural architecture a clear way to explore the village.

Chapel and Bell Tower

The chapel stands in the center of Levínské Petrovice, beside the road, and is listed as an immovable cultural monument under registration number 2157. It has a square floor plan, a smoothly rendered stone base, and an upper section clad with vertical boards. A pyramidal thatched roof tops the building, and a Latin cross stands on the chapel. It probably served as a bell tower. Here, stone, wood, and thatched roofing come together in a clearly articulated architectural form.

There is also a tower-shaped bell tower on the village square, with a wooden upper storey, a hipped roof, and a lantern. In front of it, on a stone base, stands a surviving cast-iron cross with Empire-style forms. It is dated 1859. The Latin cross on the chapel and the cast-iron cross in front of the bell tower are therefore two distinct details on two different structures. The date 1859 belongs to the cast-iron cross.

Wooden Buildings and Masonry Houses

Among the vernacular wooden buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, the log houses at house numbers 19, 18, and 22 are particularly notable. House No. 12 represents a different building type: it is a masonry building from the second half of the 19th century, featuring pilasters and stucco elements. The village thus brings log construction and masonry together as distinct architectural examples. Visitors interested in rural architecture can consider construction method, date, and façade details as separate aspects, rather than assigning the houses to a single style.

Village Layout and Getting Around

Levínské Petrovice stretches along a road that passes through the village. The buildings are spread out, with houses standing on their own plots. Road III/24080 runs from Levínské Petrovice via Horní Bukovina and Bukovina to Starý Týn. For bus connections, the Levínské Petrovice rozc. stop is a useful reference point: it is at the junction of roads II/240 and III/24080, 700 meters from the village center. If you are planning a bus trip, check the current timetable in advance so you can factor the stop into your specific journey.

Levínské Petrovice is part of the municipality of Lovečkovice, which lies in the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area. The local architecture therefore offers another way to shape your trip: you can explore both the specific architectural forms in Levínské Petrovice and the municipality’s connection to the protected landscape area. When choosing your hotel, consider whether the focus of your stay will be the village’s appearance and architecture or the wider regional landscape.
