Přestavlky: Hotels and Accommodation

Culture

Jewish settlement in Přestavlky dates back to the first third of the 18th century. The Přestavlky Jewish cemetery was established in 1844 on land acquired from the estate owner František Xaver Adolf von Auersperg. The former synagogue was converted into a residential building in 1920, after the end of the Jewish community.

The cemetery is freely accessible and lies in the fields north of the village, 400 metres west of the road to Hrochův Týnec. Today, only around three dozen gravestones remain there. The grounds have been cleared; ongoing maintenance is ensured and must continue.

Přestavlky Château stands in a park on the northern edge of the village. It is a simple, single-storey rectangular building with two side wings projecting towards the west. The château is currently not open to the public and serves as a children's home with a school, a centre for educational care and a children's educational department.

In the centre of Přestavlky, near the Chapel of St Anne, stands the Baroque statue of Saint Florian, dating approximately from 1701. The Chapel of St Anne is dedicated to Saint Anne; it was consecrated in gratitude for donated gifts.

The original statue of Saint John of Nepomuk was stolen. A free reconstruction in artificial stone, made to the original dimensions, stands on the original pedestal at the exit from Přestavlky towards Rosice.
