Všechovice presents its history through the Church of the Holy Trinity and Všechovice Chateau. The Church of the Holy Trinity stands at the highest point of the municipality. The Renaissance core of the chateau was built on the site of a fortification dating from 1378 and includes coats of arms and cellars. Around 1770, the chateau was remodelled in the Baroque style; on two sides, it is surrounded by a small, freely accessible park.
Culture and History
The presbytery of the Church of the Holy Trinity contains two painted windows depicting Saint Teresa and Saint John Sarkander. Another historical trace leads to the cemetery complex in Všechovice, which was built in 1926–1927 to a design by Bohuslav Fuchs, who came from Všechovice. The cemetery is regarded as an exceptional example of early functionalist cemetery architecture in the Czech context.
The exhibition about Bohuslav Fuchs is located in the former school building dating from 1888. It includes archival and contemporary photographs, documents, plans, films and audio recordings. It also features five architectural models with Braille labels that blind visitors can explore by touch.
At the Býškovice–Horní Újezd crossroads stands the Boží muka, a Neoclassical structure dating from around 1780. The Šimon association organises Záhorské balls and theatre performances. It also organises the Vodění medvěda carnival tradition and takes part in traditional pilgrimages and folklore festivals. In Všechovice, Otakar Šatánek’s garden railway has 150 metres of track running around numerous model buildings.
Nature and Landscape
The Juhyně River flows through Všechovice. Všechovice lies in the Záhoří landscape; it is bordered by the Hostýnské vrchy hills to the south, while the Oderské vrchy hills can be seen in the distance to the north.
The European yew, tis červený, is part of the municipality’s natural history. It is a protected memorial tree and has been listed in the central nature conservation register since 2004. The land containing the European yew, tis červený, is freely accessible.
