Předenice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Předenice can be discovered from several perspectives through its local history, surviving traces, and the historical and geographical sites in the surrounding area.

History

Předenice was first mentioned in 1239 in a document issued by Kladruby Monastery. Before 1379, Předenice passed from ecclesiastical into secular ownership. In the 15th century, the farms of Předenice gradually divided into two parts of the village.

In 1540, Trystan from the Předenicer family sold part of Předenice to the Nebílovy estate. The second part of Předenice was assigned to the Řenče estate in 1603 and later to Dolní Lukavice. The fortified site of Předenice lost its function as a noble residence and fell into decay.

Culture and Historical Traces

The former fortified site of Předenice stood on the site of today’s house no. 27; earthworks have been preserved in its garden. The Chapel of the Virgin Mary is associated with Předenice.

Dolní Lukavice Chateau was built from 1708 according to a design by the architect Jakub Auguston the Younger. Joseph Haydn worked at Dolní Lukavice Chateau from 1758 to 1760 and composed his first symphony there. The Church of Saint Martin is also located in the wider region; Plzen Barholomaeus Cathedral Church is in the vicinity of Předenice.
