Discover Netvorice

Netvorice offers a variety of cultural and scenic highlights for a stay. The Městské muzeum Netvořice presents collections and themes related to local history, while the Muzeum smaltu a smaltovaného nádobí focuses on enamel and enamelled tableware. Historic buildings, a memorial and Blábolák Pond add to these perspectives. If you are considering Netvorice as a destination, you can choose between museum exhibits, commemorative history and the surrounding landscape.

Museums: Stoneware, Local History and Enamel

The collection at the Městské muzeum Netvořice includes 580 pieces of stoneware from an 18th-century factory in Týnec. Another exhibition deals with the forced relocation of Netvořice and its surroundings during the Second World War. The museum also displays a prototype of the Barták high-wheel bicycle. The museum thus brings together material history, a unique technical item and the history of forced relocation as distinct themes. To visit outside opening hours, you can arrange an appointment by phone.

The Muzeum smaltu a smaltovaného nádobí focuses on enamel and enamelled tableware. Ms Šmídová guides visitors through the museum and provides expert commentary on the history of enamel products. The collection connects enamel as a material with enamelled tableware as a specific product category; the guided tour adds historical context to this comparison.

The two museums have different focuses: the Městské muzeum covers topics ranging from stoneware and an exhibition on forced relocation to a high-wheel bicycle prototype. The Muzeum smaltu a smaltovaného nádobí focuses on enamel, enamelled tableware and the history of the material. This distinction can help you choose the cultural focus of your visit more precisely.

Historic Buildings and Remembrance

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Netvořice was rebuilt and consecrated in 1753. It is closed until further notice due to structural damage. Before planning a visit, check whether access arrangements have changed.

The Sokolovna Netvořice was ceremonially opened on 3 August 1923; regular film screenings were held there from 1930. The Sbor Spasitele in Netvořice was ceremonially opened on 28 September 1937. The sequence of these openings and the earlier film screenings reflects different stages in the town’s history. A memorial in Netvořice bears the name “Pomník Obětem 1. a 2. světové války” and adds a place of remembrance to the historic sites.

Blábolák and the Surrounding Landscape

Blábolák is the largest pond on the western edge of Netvořice. Its location and status as the largest pond give the town a tangible connection to its landscape. Alongside the collections and architectural history, a feature of the local landscape is therefore another distinct highlight to choose from. During your stay, you can give cultural history and the landscape separate emphasis, without combining them into a single excursion theme.
