Hnojice is a typical municipality in the fertile Haná region. The village centre has the shape of a closed ellipse, for which the term old Slavic okrouhlice is used.
Culture and History
The present Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was built from 1806 to 1812 after the previous church was destroyed by fire. At the southeastern edge of Hnojice, in a bend on the road to Lužice, stands the Chapel of Saint Florian, a work of Haná Baroque dating from 1701.
In the park next to the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary stands a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk. It bears the signature dated 1732 and comes from the workshop of the Uničov master Jiří Antonín Heinz. The Hnojice reconciliation cross is located at the intersection of the roads to Šternberk and Moravská Huzová; it is the only and oldest monument of its kind in the municipality. The Calvary cross bears a Latin commemorative inscription from 1817.
Archaeological finds are also part of the history of the village: a Lusatian cremation burial found in Hnojice is classified as a Slavic archaeological find from the 6th century. Flint tools found in the Mošťánky field near Hnojice are assigned to the Mesolithic or Neolithic period and dated to around 3000 BC.
Regional Character
The traditional Haná kirtages take place every year in August, on the second Saturday and Sunday after the feast of Saint Lawrence. They include entertainment events, various exhibitions and performances by ensembles of the Hnojice civic association Hagnózek.
Walking and Cycling
Road II/447 connects Hnojice with the neighbouring villages of Lužice and Žerotín. The “Za krásami přírody” cycling route passes through Hnojice and forms a 42-kilometre circular route starting from Šternberk. It is largely flat, with little change in elevation, and is suitable for all age groups. Hnojice is suitable as a stopover for cyclists travelling from Olomouc or Litovel via Šternberk into the Nízký Jeseník Mountains.
