Pertoltice: Church, Village Museum and Rural Culture

Pertoltice reveals itself through tangible evidence of church architecture, rural building culture and early local history. Kostel sv. Jošta was first mentioned in 1346, when the church was entered in the parish register of the Diocese of Meissen. Founded in the Middle Ages, it was redesigned and expanded in the Baroque style in the 18th century. The building stands on a hill in the northern part of the settlement. The church thus combines a medieval origin, a Baroque transformation and a clearly specified location within the settlement.

Culture

The smaller-scale cultural heritage includes the cross of Lorenz and Magdalena Schwind. It is a cast-iron cross on a sandstone pedestal and stands opposite house no. 6 in Dolní Pertoltice. It was erected in 1883. Its material, pedestal and precise location give this monument its own clearly identifiable form. In the case of the cross, its name, the materials used, its location and the year of construction can be understood as interconnected features.

The Pertoltice Village Museum focuses on agriculture, folk architecture, food and gastronomy. It offers guided tours with a guide. The Pertoltice Village Museum is scheduled to be open daily from April to October, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; visits must be announced in advance by telephone at 737 056 464. The museum description thus combines four distinct subject areas with an explicitly planned schedule and the requirement to announce visits by telephone.

One example of rural building culture is Haslerův dům, a two-storey half-timbered house from the late 18th century and part of the open-air museum. In particular, the interiors of the first upper floor have been preserved in their original condition; a black kitchen is also still functional. The rural farmstead with Haslerův dům is designated as a cultural monument. At Haslerův dům, the exterior structure, preserved interiors and black kitchen stand out as distinct components of the same architectural monument.

History

Of the former fortress in Dolní Pertoltice, only the remains of residential building no. 194 west of the church have survived. The former complex can therefore now be identified only through this preserved part of the residential building west of the church.

In the wider regional surroundings of Dolní Pertoltice are Czocha - Zamek XIVw., a castle, and Zamek Gryf, also a castle. Kraftwerk Hagenwerder, a ruin, is also located in this wider regional area. The former complex Former Lauban Railway Substation, a ruin, is located there as well. Thus, in the wider regional surroundings, castles stand alongside the two sites identified as ruins.

Nature

The mountains Bába, Hřebenáč, Špičák and Kančí vrch are located in the surroundings of Dolní Pertoltice. The four named mountains form an independent landscape reference level alongside the architectural and historical evidence.
