The chapel and the history of the fortification

The Chapel of the Fourteen Holy Helpers is a historic landmark of Mradice, as described in the municipality’s 2013 visitor information. It was restored and consecrated in 2001. It is therefore a specific point of interest for travellers interested in religious buildings and their history.

Another cultural and historical point of interest lies outside the built-up area. The permanent light fortification SLO VEČ 10074, type A-120Z, is about 500 metres west of the settlement of Mradice. It is on the banks of the Ohře, beside the road between Mradice and Strkovice. The property includes plot st.p.č. 137, measuring 102 m². The different locations help with orientation: the chapel is identified as a landmark of Mradice, while the fortification lies outside the built-up settlement. If you plan to visit the fortification, check in advance whether a visit is possible.

The Ohře, the mill and the cycling route

The Ohře separates Mradice from Levonice. The river is also associated with other specific points of interest: the Mradice mill stands on the Ohře in the cadastral area of Mradice, and the fortification is on the riverbank. The Ohře is therefore part of both the landscape and the setting of these historic places.

The mill no longer grinds flour; a small hydroelectric power plant is in operation there. If you would like to visit the mill, check its current operating status in advance and ask whether visits are possible.

There is also a specific point of reference for cyclists: the fourth stage of the Ohře cycling route passes through Mradice at kilometre 45.9. This places the village on a particular stage, while the mill and fortification offer other points of interest. Check the current route before setting out.
