Radomyšl: Cultural History and Cycling Tour

Radomyšl combines cultural and historical landmarks with a named cycling tour and other leisure activities. The pilgrimage church, Jewish cemetery, and history museum each highlight a different aspect of the past; the cycling tour adds an activity on two wheels. When planning your trip, you can consider the individual historical sites, the museum’s overview of different periods, and the option of a cycling tour.

Pilgrimage Church and Jewish Cemetery

The pilgrimage church of Saint John the Baptist stands on a hill southeast of Radomyšl. The present-day church dedicated to this saint was built between 1733 and 1736. The Jewish cemetery lies in a small wood along the path from the castle to the pilgrimage church; it contains 36 gravestones dating from the first half of the 19th century. The hill and the wood give the two sites distinct geographical settings. Their dates also differ: the church was built in the 18th century, while the gravestones belong to a later period. This makes it possible to compare the building and the cemetery’s gravestones using specific places and dates.

History Museum in the Parish House

Radomyšl’s history museum is now housed in a medieval granary in the parish grounds. The term granary refers to the building’s former storage function; today, it houses the museum. The exhibition presents the history of the town from prehistoric times to 1918. The museum also displays a replica of its most significant archaeological find, the so-called vampire grave, which is associated with Radka. The building and the exhibition thus bring together a medieval setting and a history of the town spanning a long period.

The distinction is clear when choosing a historical focus: the museum covers a long period, while the church and cemetery offer individual architectural and funerary historical records with specific dates. This lets you decide whether you would rather focus on an overview or on individual historical sites.

Cycling Tour and Leisure Activities

The cycling tour “Za památkami Radomyšle” (Exploring Radomyšl’s historic sites) follows Cycle Route No. 1062 to Radomyšl. Its name, destination, and route number give you specific details for planning a cycling trip. Unlike the museum, church, and cemetery, this option centers on a tour. If you would like to include some activity in your trip plans, you can consider the named cycling tour as a separate focus alongside the historical sites.

Koupaliště Radomyšl also has a children’s playground, as well as tennis and volleyball courts. These add play and two specific ball sports to the available activities. If you would also like to consider places to play or do sports when planning your trip, you can look at these facilities alongside the cultural and historical sites and the cycling tour. The playground and the two sports courts offer different options, depending on whether you are interested in play, tennis, or volleyball.
