Culture and History

The Chapel of the Heart of Jesus in Blešno is a Neo-Romanesque brick chapel dating from 1913. It was built at the expense of the married couple V. and M. Bartoš from Blešno and has been protected as a cultural monument since 31 December 2015.

The Blešno war memorial stands beneath a centuries-old lime tree near the municipal office. The sculptor V. Škoda created it in 1923 in memory of ten victims of the First World War. After the end of the Second World War, the names of three additional victims were added to the Blešno war memorial.

Settlement of the Blešno area in prehistoric times is evidenced, among other things, by a pile-dwelling structure of the Bell Beaker culture near the Hodyc farmstead, house number 53. In addition, a copper axe was found while digging a ditch.
