Culture and History

In older writings, Chrášťovice was called Krašťovice; by an edict of the provincial administration dated 22 February 1924, the name was changed to Chrášťovice. Tomáš Čapek is also associated with the village. The lawyer and attorney, writer and historian, and former president of the Bank of Europe was born in Chrášťovice u Strakonic on 6 December 1861.

The farmstead at No. 39 is listed as an immovable cultural monument under registration number 32054/3-5159. The rural farmstead dates from the first half of the 19th century. Its buildings are arranged along a very narrow rectangular courtyard; on the western side stands a modernized rectangular residential building with a south-facing board gable with side wings.

In the “Na skalici” area, on the boundary between the cadastral territories of Leskovice and Chrášťovice, there is a preserved archaeological site with burial mounds. The village chapel on the village square in Chrášťovice is one of the designated architectural values. A memorial to the victims of the First World War stands in the lower part of the village square. House No. 16 bears the designation “House of the Čapek Brothers”; beautiful wayside shrines stand nearby.

East of Chrášťovice lies the U Trpaslíka spring, a designated landscape value. There are numerous ponds in the surroundings of Chrášťovice. The deep forests in the area are visited by mushroom pickers in summer, and the surroundings are used by cycling tourists.
