Drahelčice: Hotels and Accommodation

The first written mention of Drahelčice dates back to 1115. On its western side, the village borders the Povodí Kačáku Nature Park. Its history, preserved paths, and distinctive sites of remembrance give the village a clearly recognizable character.

Culture and History

Drahelčice was once home to a fortress that was destroyed during the Hussite Wars. It was probably located on the site of what is now the former imperial estate. The history of the village also includes the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk: it was built at the expense of the municipality of Drahelčice and dedicated to this saint on 29 June 1884.

The memorial in Drahelčice was erected in 1926 by local residents using their own funds and labor, in memory of those who fell in the First World War. Every year, the Baráčníků Association organizes a lantern procession to the memorial in Drahelčice on the anniversary of the founding of independent Czechoslovakia.

The Kladensko-Nučice Railway is also part of the village's historical heritage. From the very beginning, it was intended for freight transport.

Landscape and Paths

Numerous paths dating back to the 17th century have been preserved to this day in the cadastral area of Drahelčice. One of the notable landmarks is the Drahelčice Memorial Linden, estimated to be about 230 years old. It stands on an artificially raised mound at a crossroads.

Village and Everyday Life

Drahelčice has a bus stop with a so-called bus-stop library.
