Mečeříž: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The Church of the Elevation of the Holy Cross in Mečeříž is a protected monument. The present church was solemnly consecrated on 20 June 1913; the original church building has been documented since the 14th century and was originally built in the Gothic style.

Culture and history

In front of the Church of the Elevation of the Holy Cross stands a winter lime tree approximately 200 years old, serving as a memorial tree. An iron cross on a stone pedestal dating from 1823 is also located in front of the church. The water tower in Mečeříž probably dates from around 1913 and has a tank capacity of 100 m³. In addition, Mečeříž was once home to a fortress or small castle complex, which presumably fell into decline in the 16th century.

In the wider regional surroundings of Mečeříž lies Ostrov Chateau, which is considered a castle. The Church of St. Adalbert and the Prague Botanical Garden, a garden, are also located in the wider regional surroundings of Mečeříž.
