Olbramovice: Culture, History and Cycling Route

Those who want to get to know a place through more than just a single landmark will find several specific points of interest in Olbramovice spanning culture, history and activity.

Culture

The Parish Church of St James the Greater in Olbramovice is a Late Gothic two-nave building with cross vaults supported by two massive stone columns. Olbramovice Town Hall is a Renaissance building constructed in the second third of the 16th century. The Roman Catholic vicarage in Olbramovice is a Baroque building dating from the second half of the 17th century.

For a chronological overview, you can consider these three buildings according to their periods: Late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque form a clear sequence.

The wayside shrine by the church in Olbramovice is a Late Gothic stone-carved monument from 1518. The wayside shrine on the road to Moravský Krumlov dates from the first quarter of the 16th century and stands at a former place of execution. The two wayside shrines can be distinguished by their location, dating and historical context.

History

Kalvárie is a small hill, approximately seven metres high, with a cross and stone steps at its summit. Archaeological surveys at Kalvárie revealed a sequence consisting of settlement traces from the Early Iron Age in the 6th century BC, the later Roman-Barbarian period in the 3rd to 4th centuries AD, and a fortification from the 13th century.
