Accommodation in Drahobudice
In the village itself, on a hill near the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in the Na Valech area, lies the Drahobudice archaeological site. It is classified as a significant archaeological site in category ÚAN I.
Culture and History
The Church of the Most Holy Trinity was built in 1753–1754 in the late Baroque style by I. J. Palliardi. Its location dates back to an older church of Gothic origin; several Renaissance tombstones from the former church are embedded in the former cemetery wall. The archaeological site includes a ditch and indistinct remains of ramparts.
Behind the presbytery on the eastern side of the church stands the Drahobudice ossuary. A fresco from 1765 has been preserved there, depicting Christ on the cross as well as the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist.
