Culture and history

In 1798, Josef Bretfeld established a chapel dedicated to St. Anne at Veselíčko Castle. In 1801, the chapel was enlarged and opened to ordinary worshippers. Josef Bretfeld also created an English landscape park at Veselíčko Castle and below the pond dam.

The Church of St. Anne in Veselíčko is a building dating from 1851 and was consecrated from 9 to 11 September 1854. In front of the church stand two sandstone statues of St. John of Nepomuk and St. Erasmus the Martyr. A cross with the crucified Christ, dating from 1910, also stands in front of the church.

The Nádherný family crypt is located in the castle grounds of Veselíčko and is a cultural monument of the Písek region. The family crypt of the Nádherný lords, Knights of Borutín, was completed on 11 August 1892. In Veselíčko, the Nádherný crypt is considered the only surviving memorial to Emil Nádherný.
