Velký Třebešov: History and Local Festivals

You can get to know Velký Třebešov through historical evidence spanning several centuries, local sports and local festival traditions. The timing is important for the festivals. The stated dates for the Velkotřebešovské kolečko and Třebešovské posvícení are in 2025 and 2026 and have already passed.

Historical Evidence in Velký Třebešov

The church in the town is first mentioned in 1355; by that time, it was already a parish church. Gothic window surrounds have been preserved in the presbytery and sacristy. Window surrounds are the stone frames around windows; the surviving forms give the church architecture a specific historical connection.

The Church of St. Stephen contains a stone baptismal font from the 15th century. This dated furnishing adds another historical detail to the church’s historical evidence.

The Velký Třebešov fortress was built around the middle of the 16th century. The distinction between the dates is useful for understanding the chronology: 1355 marks the first mention of the parish church, while the fortress’s construction date is only approximate. These are therefore two different historical reference points: a mention and an approximate construction date.

The sandstone group of the Holy Trinity was created in 1816 by the Hořice sculptor J. Vašata. It stands at a crossroads beside the “U Pitašů” restaurant and is freely accessible. The monument combines a specific creator and an exact year of creation with a clear location in the town.

Sports, Cycling and Local Festivals

The sports complex by the “U Vagonu” restaurant includes tennis courts, facilities for nohejbal and volleyball, and a children’s playground. You can reserve a time for the tennis courts. Reservations and payment must be made at least 24 hours in advance; otherwise, opening the court is not guaranteed. This time limit applies to the tennis courts, not to the entire sports complex in general.

Another way to get active is the 34-km “cyklo 34 km” cycling route, which passes through Velký Třebešov. This offers different kinds of activity side by side: individual facilities at the sports complex and a cycling route with a stated total length that crosses the town.

The local sporting event Velkotřebešovské kolečko spans several editions: the 29th edition was scheduled for August 9, 2025, and the 30th for August 8, 2026. Both dates have passed. The sequence of editions highlights the recurring nature of the event.

The traditional Třebešovské posvícení was announced for September 20 and 21, 2025, with competitions, music and an extensive festival menu. This date has also passed. The two examples represent different types of event: a local sporting event and a festival with several program items.

Geographical Context

Česká Skalice is about two kilometers from Velký Třebešov and is known as the birthplace of Božena Němcová. The birthplace reference applies to Česká Skalice; the church, fortress and Holy Trinity group are specific historical landmarks in Velký Třebešov. This distinguishes the nearby town as a separate regional point of reference from the historical evidence in Velký Třebešov.
