What makes the Chapel of the Holy Trinity distinctive?

The Chapel of the Holy Trinity was built in 1830 as a large chapel with a rectangular floor plan and a simple, tall bell turret. It stands on the village square, on raised ground above the road. The floor plan, bell turret and location describe different aspects of the building: its shape, a defining architectural feature and its place in the village scene.

A cast-iron cross from the second half of the 19th century stands in front of the east façade. It complements the chapel ensemble; both features are protected. The chapel and cross therefore belong together when considering the site’s history, while the cross also stands out as a detail dating from a specific period.

A war memorial with a commemorative plaque is another place of remembrance in Vrbičany. It provides a different focus from the chapel: here, the memorial and its plaque take centre stage, while there, the focus is on the protected architecture and its associated cross. Those interested in the village scene can consider these two forms of cultural heritage separately.

What characterises the landscape and festive seasons?

Numerous willows still grow in the Telec Valley. The valley runs through Vrbičany towards Klobuky, giving this landscape feature a clear direction. Alongside the architectural features of the village square, this is another distinctive aspect of the landscape, extending beyond the village itself.

Easter and Christmas exhibitions are among the cultural events held throughout the year. They have taken place in Vrbičany since 2015 and are linked to the festive seasons. If you would like to plan your visit around an exhibition, check the specific dates in advance.
