Dohalice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Dohalice lies in the area where a decisive phase of the Prussian-Austrian War of 1866 took place.

History

The imposing Baroque granary in Dohalice presumably stands on the site of the former Dohalice fortress. It is a remnant of the former Gothic fortress; traces of Renaissance and Baroque alterations have been preserved in its masonry.

The present Church of Saint John the Baptist was built in 1894–1896 on the site of a rotunda that collapsed in 1888.

Culture

The Church of Saint John the Baptist is a hall-like, three-aisled building with a polygonally ended presbytery, a rectangular sacristy on the south side, and a prismatic tower in front of the west façade.

Four of the war graves by the church wall in Dohaličky are marked with sandstone plinths and cast-iron crosses; each bears a different inscription.

The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk from 1832 stands in the village square of Dohalice. Also in the village square, the “BRIGÁDA KNEBEL” monument depicts a standing lion trampling a snake.

Nature

The Bystřice flows through Dohalice. On its bank, in the meadows between Dohalice and Sadová, stands the statue of Perseus. It is a remnant of the former park at Sadová Castle, which burned down and was abandoned in 1744, and was created from coarse-grained sandstone in 1844.

Festivals and Trails

The second edition of “Slavnosti chleba” in Horní Dohalice took place on Saturday, 8 August, as a neighborhood festival. It was organized by local bakers and centered on various types of bread.

At the “Pěšky i na kole kolem Dohalic” event, the route began at the school in Dohaličky between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. and ended at the Sokolovna in Dohalice. A blue 40-kilometer route, a green 18-kilometer route, and a red 6.6-kilometer route were offered.
