Horní Myslová: Cultural Monuments and Mill History

Horní Myslová combines geographic orientation with historical context and specific named buildings. When planning your trip, you can consider the different aspects of the place separately: its location and land use describe the surroundings, while its cultural monuments, mill and cycle route appeal to different interests.

Location and Land Use

The village lies 3 km southwest of Telč, at an altitude of 500 m. These details describe different aspects: the distance and direction place Horní Myslová in relation to Telč, while the elevation provides a second geographic reference. The first detail is useful for finding your way on a map, while the elevation adds to the geographic profile.

A 2020 land-use analysis shows that 80% of Horní Myslová’s area is used for agriculture, while forest accounts for 11%. The agricultural share is therefore around seven times as large as the forest share. Both figures refer to the area of the entire village and provide a concise comparison of these two types of land use.

Local History and Cultural Monuments

Horní Myslová was first mentioned in a written record in 1385. At that time, the village belonged to Šternberk Castle, which was owned by Jindřich of Hradec. Horní Myslová remained part of the Telč estate until 1849. The two dates mark different historical connections: 1385 represents the first written record and the village’s connection to the castle at that time, while 1849 marks the end of its connection to the Telč estate. The early mention and the later end of the tie to Telč thus provide two different points of reference for the village’s history.

A bell tower and a crucifix stand on the village green in Horní Myslová. Both are listed as cultural monuments under registration number ÚSKP 18071/7-4844. While the historical details describe ownership and estate connections, the two monuments are tangible architectural and commemorative landmarks in the village. The bell tower and crucifix are two separate objects with the same registration number and a shared location on the village green.

Nechvátalův mlýn and Cycle Route 5124

Nechvátalův mlýn is a notable building in Horní Myslová. The small rural mill lies beside the Myslůvka stream and was still in use in the 20th century. Mill equipment from the 1920s has been preserved in the mill. The dates refer to different things: its use is generally placed in the 20th century, while the equipment is dated more specifically to the 1920s.

Marked Cycle Route 5124 runs through the cadastral area of Horní Myslová. Its geographic scope differs from that of the cultural monuments and the mill: the bell tower and crucifix are on the village green, while Nechvátalův mlýn lies beside the Myslůvka stream. This distinction is useful for orientation: the route is located at the area level, while the village green and stream provide specific local references.
