Soutice: Vacation Apartments and Holiday Homes

Soutice is where the Želivka and Sázava rivers converge. The traditional Silvestrovský pochod leads to this confluence; it is documented for December 31, 2025. The Church of Saint James the Elder in Soutice is first mentioned in 1363.

Culture and History

The Soutice château complex is listed as a cultural monument. The Muzeum Soutice is housed in a reconstructed 18th-century granary, which has been protected as a cultural monument since July 29, 2020. There, the museum presents the history of the town through historical photographs, furnishings from the former post office, and the municipal chronicle. The exhibition about Soutice château covers the château owners and Ema Destinnová. A fired brick bearing the coat of arms of the Zahn family from the former Soutice brickyard is also on display. The writer JUDr. Vojtěch Zamarovský is buried in the Soutice cemetery.

The Umrlčí cesta trail, restored in 2017, has four rest areas with seating: Kukátko, Okno do duše a krajiny, Zvonička, and Svatá trojice. At the beginning of the Umrlčí cesta near the access road to the D1 motorway, there are wooden furnishings and an information board; they are intended for rest and refreshment.
