Discover Rohovládova Bělá

Rohovládova Bělá can be understood as a place to stay particularly through its local and architectural history. Its timeline stretches from the first written record of the founding of a chapel in 1282 to the present-day form of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, which it took on in 1768. Other points of interest include memorials, a shared walking and cycling route to Bukovka, and bus connections. These different points of interest can help you plan your stay according to your interests: with a focus on history, getting active, or travel connections.

Chapel, fire, and church construction

The first written record of Rohovládova Bělá dates from 1282 and concerns the founding of a wooden chapel dedicated to Saint George. It was built by the owners of Bukůvkové Fortress. In this sequence of events, the town’s history begins with a chapel, its dedication, and the builders associated with the fortress.

A fire damaged the town centre in 1750, including the wooden church and its bell tower at the time. In 1768, the Church of Saints Peter and Paul took on its present form. The early founding of the chapel, the damage caused by the fire, and the church’s later form thus stand alongside one another as distinct chapters in the town’s history. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul is a Neo-Renaissance church. This style adds an architectural perspective to the historical dates: you can place the church both in its historical period and according to its style.

Church and memorials

In the town centre, in front of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, stands a memorial to the victims of the First World War. Both its location and its subject are clearly identified. The names “Memorial to the Fallen” and “Guardian Angel Memorial” represent commemorative themes in the town. Rohovládova Bělá also has a stone cross.

For travellers interested in culture, the story here is about more than the history of a church building. The memorials add different forms of remembrance and other named monuments to this focus. If you are particularly interested in a destination’s history and visible cultural points of interest, Rohovládova Bělá offers several specific themes to explore.

To Bukovka on foot or by bike

A shared walking and cycling route was built between Rohovládova Bělá and Bukovka, running alongside Road II/211. It is almost 773 metres long and 2.5 metres wide. At less than a kilometre long, it is a short connection between the two named places. When planning your trip, it is also worth noting that the route is expressly designed to be shared by pedestrians and cyclists.

The route offers a different focus from the church and memorial sites: here, a practical connection between two places takes centre stage. If you would like to add a short walk or bike ride to your stay, the route’s length and width are useful points of reference.
