For your consideration, architectural details, individual monuments and memorial sites can be viewed as separate themes alongside one another.

Roštění is one of the old settlements and is mentioned as early as 1141 in a document issued by Jindřich Zdík, Bishop of Olomouc. The local history can be organised through buildings, written records and specifically designated monuments.

The years 1141 and 1933 represent different historical levels: the first marks the written mention of the settlement, while the second marks the consecration of St. Florian’s Church. In this way, local tradition and the preserved building emerge with their own respective historical contexts.

The traditional Hody take place in May on the feast day of Saint Florian. At the Hodové slavnosti on 3 May 2026, a procession accompanied by the Sebraňáci brass band proceeded from the fire station to the local church dedicated to Saint Florian. Stavění is a traditional event in Roštění.

The traditional fruit brandy tasting takes place at the fire station in Roštění. Following the 2026 Hodové slavnosti, a festive lunch and social gathering were held at the local Roštěnka inn.

For your planning, you can arrange church celebrations, traditions and culinary events as different themes alongside one another chronologically.
