History and Local Character
The historic Liběcká obchodní stezka trade route passed through Jeřišno. A defining landmark of the village is the Church of St. Wenceslas (“Kostel sv. Václava”): it stands on a rise in the center of Jeřišno, on a former cemetery surrounded by a stone wall. The church has been documented since 1350. Its core is Gothic; it was later extended and remodelled in the Baroque style.
Historical evidence can also be found in Heřmaň. The rectory is currently used as a gallery, and a preserved memorial to the victims of the First World War also stands there. The former school building dates from the 18th century, is considered the oldest school building in the Okres Havlíčkův Brod district, and is currently used as residential space.
Above Heřmaň, on a rise, the outline of the foundations of a former wooden fortress can still be discerned. The settlement, known as “Ves Zerussna,” was first mentioned in 1406 in connection with Vilémov Monastery and Přibík ze Sázavy; at that time, its location was placed somewhere above Heřmaň.
