Cvrčovice: Cultural Monuments and the Niva Jihlavy Nature Park
The Niva Jihlavy Nature Park is located in the Cvrčovice area. Its landscape is characterized by the freely meandering Jihlava floodplain, fragments of alluvial forests, extensive riverside vegetation, and two systems of oxbows and abandoned river channels or floodplain lakes. In the Brno-venkov District, this is the only preserved area of its kind; in the South Moravian Region, it is one of three longer preserved stretches of lowland rivers.
Culture
The Church of Saint James in Cvrčovice dates from around 1690 and is designated as a cultural monument. A tower was added in 1828; in the 19th century, a Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre was built on the south side of the chancel, with an oratory added above it in 1885. The so-called Peters Villa, dating from the second half of the 18th century, is listed as a château under registration number 1186; it currently houses the Cvrčovice Secondary Vocational Training Centre. The château and estate complex in Cvrčovice, including the gate, farm buildings, and administrative building, is designated as an immovable cultural monument. A Baroque statue of Saint Urban from 1750 stands in front of the cemetery gate. Cvrčovice is home to a Baroque statue of Saint John of Nepomuk from 1734.
Events
In Cvrčovice, the Odborné učiliště Cvrčovice vocational training centre organizes an annual Christmas market where visitors can view and buy the students’ handicrafts. The third round of the sitontop Cup is currently held in Cvrčovice every year; the competition is open to the general public. The Cvrčovický džbánek has been held since 2000 as a race for two-person teams in a rowing boat and is open to the general public. The Cvrčovická neckyáda is associated with the Cvrčovická lávka and includes raft races.
For planning a day, the events can be distinguished by type: the Christmas market is a market, the sitontop Cup is a competition, the Cvrčovický džbánek is a rowing-boat race for two-person teams, and the neckyáda is a raft race associated with the lávka.
