Němčice Nad Hanou: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture and History

Among the significant monuments of Němčice nad Hanou is the parish church of St. Mary Magdalene. Its original stone structure dates from the late 15th century; in 1663, the church was severely damaged during an invasion by the Tatars. The free-standing bell tower is 37 metres high and protected as a monument. The free-standing bell tower in Němčice nad Hanou is one of five free-standing bell towers in Moravia.

A local symbol is the Hanácký němčický kroj, which is richly decorated with embroidery and lace. The Pantlék folklore ensemble has existed since 1991 and continues to preserve ethnographic traditions in Němčice nad Hanou as an ethnographic ensemble. The first ethnographic exhibition in the Bohemian lands was held here as early as 1887.

The archaeological site of Němčice nad Hanou also reaches far back into the past: it has yielded Celtic coins and other coins from the ancient world. Numerous coin fragments, blanks and precious-metal pieces attest to the production character of the La Tène-period settlement of Němčice nad Hanou.

Theatre is also part of the local cultural history. Němčice nad Hanou hosted its first showcase of theatre ensembles in 1971; since 1983, the theatre showcases have been held annually. Since 1994, the annual showcase of amateur theatre ensembles has been called Hanácký divadelní máj. It is a regional showcase of rural theatre ensembles as well as a regional showcase of spoken theatre for children. Selected ensembles may be forwarded to KDP Vysoké n. J. or CP Popelka Rakovník.
