Discover Sedlatice

Sedlatice can be explored through several specific themes: the Mariánská kaple as a landmark, the village’s founding history, the Stonařov meteorite fall associated with the area, and cycling route No. 5092. There are also individual event details with clearly stated dates. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Sedlatice, this distinction can help you decide whether your trip is likely to focus more on local history, cycling or a particular event.

Chapels and Local History

The Mariánská kaple is a prominent landmark in Sedlatice and is generally dated to 1836. The Chapel of the Virgin Mary is also listed as a monument under registration number ÚSKP 45758/7-5207. Its protected status and registration number offer a specific point of reference for visitors interested in cultural history. The village was founded earlier: the new Sedlatice was established in 1709 by Petr Pavel Kretis, provost of Nová Říše. The founding in 1709 and the chapel, generally dated to 1836, mark different points of reference. This makes it possible to consider the history of the settlement separately from the history of its religious architecture.

Another point of interest is the so-called Stonařov meteorite fall, which is associated with the area around Sedlatice. It adds a natural-history perspective to the information about the village’s founding and chapels. Those interested in local history can thus place Sedlatice in context not only through dated traces of human activity, but also through a historical natural event. The building, settlement history and natural event offer different themes to explore during a visit.

Cycling Route and Events

Cycling route No. 5092 adds another reason to visit. It passes through Sedlatice and runs between Nepomuky and Stará Říše. For cyclists, this is a concrete way to include the village in their route planning. The route number and the two named places provide clear points of reference.

The event details also refer to specific editions. The 13th “Výšlap na Nepomuky” was scheduled for 10 a.m. on December 30, 2025, starting from the chapel; the event had therefore reached at least 13 editions. The traditional pouťová zábava in Sedlatice was announced as a public dance event for September 6, 2024. A New Year’s Eve celebration at the Pastouška was also announced for 2025. The optional SPORT costume theme was announced for the third time. These examples represent different formats: a hiking event, a public dance event and an announced New Year’s Eve program. The dates mentioned are in 2024 and 2025. If you are planning to travel for an event, check the dates for your own travel period.

Putting Sedlatice in Context as a Travel Destination

For your decision, it is useful to distinguish between themes connected with the village and specific event dates. The chapels, founding history and meteorite fall give Sedlatice a historical and natural-history dimension; the event details relate to particular past editions. The cycling route, in turn, provides a clearly identified reference for route planning. You can therefore first consider whether you would like to base your stay mainly on history and culture, a cycling trip or an event date.
