Přelíc: Church, Bell Tower and Hiking Trail

Přelíc brings together several distinct points of interest: the Church of St. Peter and Paul, a wooden bell tower in the cemetery, an archaeological find nearby and a green-marked hiking trail through the village. Přelíc also lies on the edge of Džbán Nature Park. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Přelíc, these themes can help you plan your visit: the church, tower and archaeological find offer different historical connections, while the hiking trail provides a focus of its own. This makes it easier to decide whether cultural history or a combination of local history and hiking matters most to you.

Church, Portal and Bell Tower

The Church of St. Peter and Paul in Přelíc is a building dating from the second half of the 14th century. At the main entrance, it has a Romanesque portal made of marlstone, richly decorated with 23 quatrefoil motifs. A quatrefoil is an ornament with four arched lobes; the number and form of the motifs give the portal a distinctive architectural character. The construction period, stylistic designation, material and ornamentation refer to different features of the same building and offer architecture enthusiasts several points of interest.

In the western part of the cemetery, a hexagonal wooden bell tower dating from the 17th century stands on a stone base. Its location, shape and material make it a distinctive feature of cultural history. The bells, too, can be described through different individual details: the middle one dates from 1486 and bears a relief of Saint Peter; the largest was cast in 1679 by Prague bell founder Bedřich Schönfeld. This comparison connects a date with an image motif for the middle bell, and the casting year with the name of its founder for the largest.

Another time period is represented by the surrounding area: a pagan burial ground was unearthed near Přelíc in 1894. The find provides evidence of prehistoric settlement in the area and complements the history of the dated buildings with a much earlier period. Thus, the specific buildings in Přelíc stand alongside an archaeological discovery nearby that tells of the area’s earlier settlement.

Hiking Trail and Location on the Nature Park’s Edge

A green-marked hiking trail runs through Přelíc. Check the markings before setting out if you plan to include the trail in your day’s itinerary. The village lies on the edge of Džbán Nature Park. These two details serve different purposes for orientation: the location describes Přelíc’s connection to the nature park, while the trail information identifies the route through the village. This is useful when weighing up your interests: one detail places the village in its landscape, while the other points to a specific hiking option.
