Discover Třebařov: Church, Monastery Ruins and Nature

Třebařov offers travelers several points of interest: sacred architecture, monastery ruins, the Nohavice wetland and cycling routes in the surrounding area. The hilly, forested landscape is also part of the town’s character. You can plan your trip around whether you are more interested in historic buildings, nature or a bike ride.

Church and Monuments in Třebařov

The Church of the Holy Trinity is in the upper part of Třebařov. A church was built here in 1720, remodeled in 1769, and subsequently dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The sacristy contains a chapel dating from 1736, which comes from the original church. The sequence of dates makes it possible to trace several construction phases of the church. Regular Catholic services are held in the church by the local priest, Father Karel Macků. If you plan to attend a service, check the date in advance.

The sculpture group of the Most Holy Trinity is also one of the town’s notable historic features. It dates from 1820 and stands on a tall, richly decorated pedestal bearing reliefs of saints. The memorial to the fallen of the First World War in Třebařov is a rare example of sophisticated German monument art in the region. It was designed by the architect O. Czepa. Those interested in architecture and commemorative culture will find here not only sacred buildings but also a monument with its own artistic significance.

The History and Ruins of the Koruna Panny Marie Monastery

Boreš of Rýzmburk founded the Augustinian monastery of Maria Kron, also known as Koruna Panny Marie, in Třebařov in 1267. The ruins of the old monastery rise above the surrounding landscape in the lower part of the town. The surviving remains include monumental walls of a former early Gothic single-nave church, fragments of Gothic window tracery and a wooden bell tower. This historic site is therefore quite different from the church in the upper part of Třebařov: one tells of later alterations and religious use, while the other preserves architectural features of the former monastery.

Wetland, River and Forested Surroundings

The Nohavice biocenter is a functioning wetland complex comprising the Nohavice and Křtěný ponds, with near-natural conditions. Waterbirds, including herons, swans and coots, find a natural refuge here. The wetland offers a distinct focus alongside the buildings: it is about the local landscape and its habitat for birds.

The Moravská Sázava flows through the northern part of the municipality, outside the built-up areas. The area around Třebařov is hilly and forested, and is suitable for recreation and mushroom picking. Specific conditions may vary by season. When planning your trip, keep in mind that nature and the landscape are not merely an added perspective on the town but could be a focus of your visit in their own right.

Cycling and Trip Planning

Cycling routes crisscross the surrounding area. Designated cycling route 4221 passes through the municipality. It connects Koruna Monastery, Tatenice Castle, the ponds of Lanškroun and the watershed between the Elbe and Danube. The route thus brings together historic and scenic destinations, without the town’s history alone defining the character of a trip. Check the current route signs before setting out, as routes may change.

The different options for your trip are easy to distinguish: the church and monuments represent architectural history, the Koruna Panny Marie ruins tell the story of the monastery, and Nohavice is known for its wetland and waterbirds. Cycling routes and the hilly, forested surroundings add outdoor activities to the mix. You can plan a visit to Třebařov to suit your interests without confusing the different places and themes.
