Nebřehovice: Discover Village History and Walking Routes

Nebřehovice combines a multifaceted village history with a clearly recognisable centre and routes through the municipal area. This creates a destination for you that combines historical traces, distinctive buildings and a manageable hiking option. Particularly characteristic are the village square with its chapel and bell tower, the memory of a medieval water castle, and the transport connections towards several towns.

Village Centre with Chapel and Bell Tower

The chapel on Nebřehovice village square is a brick-built chapel of Baroque type dating from the 18th century. Its square floor plan and pyramidal roof with a lantern give it a clearly describable architectural form. The bell tower on the village square in the centre is a valuable urban-planning element and thus shapes the village’s built character. A 56-kilogram bell once hung in the bell tower of the Nebřehovice chapel; it was confiscated by the Germans in 1942.

The local history also reaches far back. In 1253, Petr of Nebřehovice is documented as a retainer of Bavor of Strakonice. Zdeněk of Nebřehovice is mentioned towards the end of the 14th century. The medieval water castle of Nebřehovice lost its function at the beginning of the 16th century and gradually also disappeared structurally during the 17th and 18th centuries. This chronological sequence makes the history of the village understandable through individual periods, without a surviving castle structure having to define the character of the village today.

In the centre of Nebřehovice, on the road to Strakonice, there is also the rural property No. 3. Together with the chapel, bell tower and village pond, it is one of the specific local details that complement the historic villagescape.
