Heřmanice: Hotels and Accommodations

St. Bartholomew was first mentioned in 1352. The church was originally Gothic and was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 17th century. It is a branch church of the Roman Catholic parish of Vilémov u Golčova Jeníkova. On November 24, 1995, it was declared a cultural monument.

The church contains a wooden panel with a Pietà by Jiří Zerzán from Vilémov, dating from 1660; it measures 103 × 172 cm and was painted over in 1950. Above and below the gallery are large-format paintings, “The Blessing of the Breads” and “The Expulsion of the Money Changers from the Temple,” in original Baroque carved frames from the first half of the 18th century.

In 1281, the brothers Jindřich, Smil, and Rajmund of Lichtenburg sold the villages of Heřmanice and Malejovice, as well as the Kozojedy Forest on both banks of the Dúbravice (Doubrava), to Vilémov Monastery, including the right of patronage over the Chapel of St. Benedict in Heřmanice.

The monastic administration also received income from the parish at the Chapel of St. Benedict. The Lords of Heřmanice claimed part of the village.

Heřmanice lies south of the Železné hory.
