Culture and History

The present appearance of the Kostel sv. Jiljí church dates back to a pseudo-Romanesque reconstruction carried out between 1870 and 1872. The Baroque bell tower at the church was built between 1753 and 1756, replacing an older wooden structure. The church towers are frequently depicted in drawings by Mikoláš Aleš.

The Jewish cemetery “Židovský hřbitov” in Mirotice was established before 1647. Approximately 250 gravestones have survived there to this day. The cemetery is locked; upon request, the Mirotice municipal office can arrange access.

The Dům zvaný Rytířský is a Renaissance house near the square in Mirotice and probably dates from the 17th century. Its preserved painted façades with stucco decorations characterize the building. The Měšťanský dům near the square has a mansard roof and dates from the early 17th century. Its façade was remodelled in the Baroque style and fitted with an attic and stucco decorations.

The Kaplička sv. Jana Nepomuckého is a Baroque chapel built in the second half of the 18th century. It stands in the Zářečí district on the northern edge of Mirotice.
