Mladějovice is home to the protected Mladějovická lípa, a reddish-colored large-leaved lime tree with a trunk circumference of 893 cm and an estimated age of 400 years. A local chronicle also reports that in 1922, thirteen schoolchildren and their teacher could fit inside its hollow trunk.
Culture and History
The parish church of St. Mary Magdalene in Mladějovice is a single-nave longitudinal church dating from the late 18th century, incorporating the core of an older tower. Its present form was created during a comprehensive renovation in 1791–1792. The first mention of a church in Mladějovice dates from 1131.
Near the local cemetery is the Mladějovice Stations of the Cross, with a chapel and 14 stations dating from the second half of the 19th century. The origins of the Stations of the Cross remain unknown. Next to the parish church there are also two valuable Empire-style tombs: the tomb of Ignác Müller, dating from around 1839, and the tomb of Theodor Bratis, dating from around 1832.
