Discover Nesvačilka

Nesvačilka combines a precisely dated founding history with a chapel above the village and a flat, agricultural landscape. The chapel’s seasonal opening hours and local festival traditions provide practical guidance for planning a stay. You can tailor your visit to your interests, whether you want to learn about the village’s origins, attend a church service or enjoy a festival.

Founding and Name Variants

Nesvačilka’s founding charter is dated 29 November 1715. Its origins are connected to a remote manor farm near Žatčany, which was divided into 20 plots for new settlers. The date and division offer two distinct points of reference: the charter establishes when the village was founded, while the twenty plots describe the form its settlement took. If you want to put the village’s history into context, you can link a specific founding date with its early settlement.

The different forms of the name also reflect different linguistic and usage contexts. In German names, Nesvačilka appears as Neudorf; documents sometimes use Nová ves, while the vernacular form is also Nová dědina. These variants refer to Nesvačilka and may come up when you look at older references to the village.

Chapel and Visiting Hours

The Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows stands above Nesvačilka. From April to October, it is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 14:00 to 16:00. These seasonal hours are a practical guide for planning a weekend visit; check the opening hours before travelling if you want to visit the chapel. Mass is also held every Sunday at 9:00 for parishioners and pilgrims. Mass and the afternoon opening are different reasons to visit, and take place at different times. If you want to attend Mass, check the local service schedule in advance, as religious service times may change.

Festivals and Local Culture

The traditional hody festival takes place in Nesvačilka every year. If you plan to visit around the festival, check the local dates and programme. A traditional fruit-brandy tasting was also held in April 2024, where visitors could sample game specialities as well. The timing differs: hody takes place every year, while the tasting was held in April 2024. The grounds of the shooting range also host numerous cultural events. If you are interested in a particular event, check the date and opportunities to attend in advance.

Landscape and Former Ponds

The area around Nesvačilka is flat and agricultural; there are no forests or ponds. Locally, it is known as a “landscape without shade.” Several ponds once surrounded the village but were drained at the beginning of the 19th century. The name Nesvačilka also comes from the former pond Nesvačila. Today’s landscape and the village’s older history thus sit side by side: flat agricultural land defines the surroundings, while the name recalls a former body of water. If you want to get to know Nesvačilka through its landscape, you can distinguish between today’s agricultural surroundings and the history of ponds preserved in the village’s name.
