Křeč: Hotels and accommodations

A historic landmark in Křeč is the Church of St. James the Elder. The surviving remains of a Romanesque rotunda suggest that the area of present-day Křeč was already settled in the 12th century. The church stands on a hill in the southern part of Křeč and is visible from a great distance.

Culture

The Church of St. James the Elder features 14th-century frescoes. The cultural landscape of the village also includes the parish complex in Křeč in the Pelhřimov District, which was restored between 2016 and 2018. During the work, preserved painted decorations with small rose blossoms on wooden shutters were discovered and conserved. The complex also includes a single-storey residential building dating from the second half of the 18th century. One of the notable buildings in Křeč is House No. 5.

Landscape

Cycle Route No. 6 runs through Křeč. The municipality lies on a deforested upland that is atypical of the western edge of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. The southeastern edge of Křeč’s cadastral territory is formed by the Javornička stream, while the Křečský potok stream rises at the village pond in Křeč.

The settlement of Svatá Anna lies south of Křeč in a wooded setting; a church of the same name stands there.

History

Hrádek Castle stood on a hill and was fortified by walls and rocks. It is mentioned in the urbarium of the Rosenberg estates from 1379, in the Josafatské Valley northwest of Křeč. On the right-hand side of the road from Křeč to Černovice stands a stone chalice-shaped monument at the presumed site of the battle.
