Discover Dobromilice: Sacred Heritage and Local History

Dobromilice combines sacred history with vivid insights into rural life in the past.

Trail around the All Saints Church

The sacred monuments trail is designed as a permanently established circular route with five information panels around the All Saints Church in Dobromilice. The panels give the route a clear structure and lead to individual testimonies of the religious and local history. One such testimony is the uncovered gravestone from the crypt of Countess Maria Anna Clam. The fifth and final station is located at the burial chapel of the Bukůwků family.

Church, Crypts and the Bukůwků Family

The Baroque All Saints Church in Dobromilice has origins dating back to around 1350. The approximate dating leaves the precise historical origin open. Its crypts are associated with the noble families Páni ze Stomů, Žálkovští and Kořenští, who were based in Dobromilice. In this way, the church supplements the trail with a historical perspective on families connected with the village. The connection between the church, crypts and chapel reveals several levels of the sacred character of the village: the building, the families associated with it and a separate burial site.

The burial chapel of the Bukůwků family beside the parish church was built in 1875 by Zikmund Jaromír Bukůwka, Count of Bukůwky. The year of construction, 1875, places it in a later period than the church's origins, dated to around 1350. A distinctive feature of the chapel is the method of burial: The coffins lie on the floor of the crypt chambers and are preserved by air.

Regional Museum with Insights into Rural Life

The Regional Museum in Dobromilice has a permanent exhibition on rural life approximately one hundred years ago. It includes, among other things, crafts, agriculture and beekeeping. The three areas represent different fields of work in everyday rural life. The reference to approximately one hundred years ago limits the focus to a specific historical period. The exhibition broadens the sacred focus to include everyday life and work in the region. A visit is possible by telephone appointment or by email. If you would like to combine your stay with a visit to the museum, you should take this method of arranging an appointment into account when planning.

Historical Details in the Villagescape

Other notable landmarks include the stone arch bridge over the Broděnka. It probably dates from the 16th century and has been listed as a cultural monument since 1958. The stone construction and arched form create an architectural accent alongside the church and chapel. Thus, a probable date of origin stands alongside its listing as a cultural monument, which has been in place since 1958.
