Kmetiněves: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The Church of St. Wenceslas dates from the 14th century and was remodelled in the Baroque style in 1731.

Culture and history

The single-nave, rectangular building has a narrower presbytery closed on three sides and two square sacristies. The original late Gothic tower, built of stone blocks, stands on the west façade. The furnishings include a Baroque pulpit and a confessional dating from 1741.

The complex of the Church of St. Wenceslas includes a mortuary chapel and a cemetery that is still in use. A surrounding wall encloses the entire complex. It is situated on a slight rise at the eastern edge of the village, along the road and near the village centre.

The Chapel of the Holy Trinity was built in the Neo-Gothic style in the second half of the 19th century, probably on the site of an older chapel. A stone cross is set into its side façade; the chapel stands on the road to the village centre.

The historic centre of Kmetiněves has been documented since 1336 and is designated as UAN II. Another visible reminder is the statue of the World War memorial to the fallen, which was erected and unveiled in 1922. Every year, the Christmas lights are switched on at the Christmas tree in front of the municipal office.
