Třebětice: Cultural Monuments and Village History

If you are considering Třebětice as a destination for a hotel stay, its local cultural monuments and connections to the surrounding landscape offer specific themes to help you plan. The history of the village is reflected in its buildings and memorial sites; there is also a protected beech tree and connections to nearby waterways. The individual sites differ both in their history and in their location.

Church and Architectural History

The Kostel svatého Vendelína, or Church of St. Wendelin, dates from 1794 and marks a transition to Classicism. It is a detached, single-nave building with a presbytery, nave, sacristy, and tower. The church therefore offers several specific points of interest if you are interested in its design and architectural classification: the description covers both its overall type and its individual parts. The building has been listed as a cultural monument since May 3, 1958; its register number is 21820/7-6176.

Memorial Sites in the Village

The monument to the fallen of the First World War stands in the built-up area of the village, on the village green next to the church. It was erected in 1920. Its two-metre-high obelisk is made of Bohemian syenite and bears a bronze depiction of Christ’s head wearing a crown of thorns. Its year of construction, material, and design distinguish this monument from the other memorials in Třebětice.

The stone Socha svatého Josefa, or Statue of St. Joseph, also stands on the village green. Its history includes a change of location: it was moved from a field track behind the village to the village green and restored in 1999. The village green is thus home to different forms of commemoration, while the statue’s recorded history also includes an earlier location.

Chapel and Memorial Site by the Road

The Výklenková kaplička v poli, or niche chapel in the fields, is located in the fields beside a track in the direction of Hulín. This three-sided, plastered structure dates from the 18th century and has a niche on each side. The chapel was completely restored in 2021. Its location in the fields and distinctive design give it a different character from the memorial sites on the village green.

The Památník zastřelených, or memorial to those shot, stands outside Třebětice at the junction of the Holešov–Třebětice–Količín roads, near a bus stop. It consists of a granite slab on an elongated base and an obelisk set up beside it. The monument was completely restored after 2015. It is a separate landmark outside the built-up area and should not be confused with the monument to the fallen of the First World War beside the church.

Protected Beech and Connections to Waterways

The protected Buk u mlýna, or Beech by the Mill, grows on plot 346 in the cadastral area of Třebětice, near the former Čmelov Mill, No. 32. It is 20 metres tall; its crown is 22 metres wide, and its trunk circumference is 381 centimetres. It is estimated to be 150 years old. The measurements describe the beech from different perspectives, while the age is explicitly an estimate.

The Žabínek flows through the administrative area of Třebětice and joins the Rusava near Hulín. The Námezník is a different site: it stands in a wooded area at the confluence of the Mlýnský náhon and the Rusava. To reach the Námezník, follow the mill race from Třebětice. When planning your visit, bear in mind that routes may be affected by the season.
