Vilémovice: Hotels and Accommodation
Vilémovice Château is a Baroque château remodelled in the Neoclassical style and a valuable example of a small rural aristocratic residence. Ignác Bechyně z Lažan had it built between 1743 and 1746 on the site of a manor farm. After the château completely burned down in 1825, it was subsequently rebuilt in the contemporary Neoclassical style of the time. It currently serves cultural purposes for the municipality.
Nature
The Stvořidla Nature Reserve includes Vilémovice and also extends across the village's cadastral area. In the deep valley of the Sázava, it features a boulder-strewn riverbed with numerous rapids. Among other species, the protected white-throated dipper lives in the reserve; Stvořidla also offers opportunities for hiking.
There is also a remarkable tree in the park of Vilémovice Château: a yew tree with a trunk circumference of 310 centimetres grows there. This yew was designated a memorial tree on 16 September 1976.
History and Culture
Local traditions are maintained in Vilémovice. These include a Shrovetide procession as well as pilgrimage and village-fair celebrations. To the west of the village, beside a path through the fields, stands a Late Baroque chapel that probably dates from 1727.
In the centre of the village, next to the outdoor swimming pool, there is a bell tower. Vilémovice is also home to a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk dating from 1864.
