Stanoviště: Pottery History, Bell Tower and Wetlands

Visible remains at the former settlement site, pottery history and the bell tower are part of the area’s cultural and historical character; wetland features shape its connection to nature. The multipurpose sports ground and the cycling route offer specific starting points for sports-focused plans. You can tailor your search for a stay to what interests you most about Stanoviště.

Traces of Settlement and Pottery History

Visible remains of human dwellings have survived to this day at the former settlement site of Stará Stanoviště. The history of pottery offers another way to explore the area’s past: historically, pottery was the most successful craft in Stanoviště. Local deposits of high-quality potter’s clay fostered this tradition, and the clay was also exported to the surrounding area. Pottery production died out around the middle of the 19th century. The origin of the material, its importance as a craft and its export are thus interconnected. Two distinct aspects of the area’s history come together here: visible remains of former dwellings and a craft that came to an end around the middle of the 19th century.

The Octagonal Bell Tower

Stanoviště’s bell tower features folk Baroque-inspired forms and an octagonal ground plan. Octagonal means eight-sided; this shape is repeated in the octagonal tent roof and the open octagonal lantern. An onion dome crowns the lantern. The structure can therefore be read from bottom to top: from the octagonal ground plan, through the roof and lantern, to the crowning dome. The folk Baroque-inspired design adds a stylistic element to the geometric features. For architecture enthusiasts, a specific point of interest is the combination of a repeated ground-plan shape and a tiered roof structure.

Lakes and Wetlands

Stanovišťské rybníčky consists of two lakes surrounded by lush wetland vegetation. The Stanovišťské rybníčky protected area lies within the cadastral territory of the municipality. This natural feature brings together bodies of water and their surrounding vegetation. Stanovišťský mokřad covers about one hectare and is characterized by waterlogged soils and wetland plants. The two names are associated with different specific features: at Rybníčky, the focus is on the two lakes; at Mokřad, it is on the approximate area as well as the soil and plants. This comparison gives nature enthusiasts more than one perspective on Stanoviště’s wetland features.
