Dřenice: Hotels and Accommodation

Dřenice can be described through clear historical, landscape and local points of reference. A diverse picture of the town emerges from its memorial sites, waterways, sports facilities and recurring events.

History and Culture

Dřenice was first mentioned in writing in 1381. According to historical sources, the founding of Dřenice is attributed to Count Dřeň, who lived in the part of the town now called Na Hrázi.

The Dřenice memorial to the victims of the First and Second World Wars is a sandstone monument with a name plaque, a relief, a flaming heart and a cross. The unveiling of the Dřenice war memorial on 18 August 1946 is recorded on its reverse side.

In the Na Hrázi area there is a chapel built by residents of the municipality at the end of the 19th century; it is located above the confluence of the Markovický and Bylanka streams. The Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk in Dřenice lies south of the village at a crossroads near the Na Hrázi area.

The wooden bell tower in Dřenice contains an original bell that is still in working order. During Dřenické Posvícení 2025, a goulash festival, a dance event and other accompanying events took place on the first weekend of September.
