History and Culture

Veselí is now part of the municipality of Barchov and was formerly a fortress and a manorial farmstead. The former fortress in Veselí lost its characteristic appearance after a storm in 1929, when its original roof was replaced with a flat concrete roof. Written records from the late 15th century mention a miller in Barchov.

The building of the former fortress in Veselí, house number 25, is privately owned. There is a cross next to the small bell tower in Barchov. Barchov also has a municipal library dating from 1909. The Church of Saint George is located in the vicinity of Barchov.
