Rozsíčka: Bell Tower, Château and Natural Area

Rozsíčka lies in the valley of the Rozsíčský potok. The village has an oval layout and lies on the road from Olešnice via Sulíkov and Rudka to Kunštát. Its topographical location, settlement pattern and regional connections thus emerge as distinct points of reference. Those who want to get to know a place not only through individual buildings but also through its structure will find a clear starting point in Rozsíčka.

The Crhov–Rozsíčka Site of Community Importance lies in a stream valley between Rozsíčka and Crhov. Halasovo Kunštátsko Nature Park covers the cadastral area of Rozsíčka or parts of it. Rozsíčka’s connection with nature thus extends from the stream valley between the two villages to the village’s cadastral area. For orientation in the landscape, the stream valley and cadastral area represent two different spatial scales.

The bell tower in Rozsíčka is a cultural monument. It has a square ground plan and a helmet roof dating from the late 18th century. The bell tower in Rozsíčka is a defining element shaping the space of the village square. The tower’s geometric form, the date of the helmet roof and its position on the village square create a cohesive, readily identifiable architectural profile.

Rozsíčka Château is a building in the Empire style that has retained its original basic form to this day and was built in 1828. It has six bays and one storey. Its southeast entrance front is accentuated by a two-bay avant-corps. An avant-corps is a projecting part of a building and forms the accentuated section of the façade on the southeast entrance front. Rozsíčka Château is privately owned. Its style, year of construction, number of storeys and façade design give the building a clearly identifiable architectural form.

Rozsíčka is home to preserved and well-maintained examples of folk architecture, including log buildings. There is also a chapel in a prominent location in Rozsíčka. Log buildings add rural forms of construction to the village scene; the chapel creates a distinct accent at a prominent site. For travellers interested in architecture, several clearly different building types can be found here, ranging from the château’s Empire style to the folk log buildings.

Local cycling routes and marked hiking trails provide opportunities for getting around the area. An excursion area and a playground are located at the upper end of Rozsíčka. Kamperk rises west of Rozsíčka to a height of 640 m. The paths are suitable for cycling and hiking. The excursion area and playground at the upper end of the village add further points of interest; to the west, the 640 m-high Kamperk provides another landscape reference. This gives visitors considering Rozsíčka specific points in the village, at its edge and in the surrounding area to the west. These different connections with the village range from movement within the village to the prominent elevation west of it.
