Zbraslavec: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Zbraslavec is home to the Neo-Gothic Chapel of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, built in 1901. Its older western section consists of an original prismatic chapel with a square floor plan; attached to it is a newer, slightly wider rectangular nave. In front of the southern wall stands a stone cross with an image of Christ painted on sheet metal, into which the year 1857 is carved.

Culture

In the southern part of Zbraslavec, on the left bank of the Úmoří, lies the complex of the sawmill and the former Křepelův mlýn mill. The kaolin deposits on Hůra hill in the area of Zbraslavec provide another link to the local history: they contributed to the development of local pottery. The first large pottery workshop was built in 1880.

In the wider regional surroundings of Zbraslavec are Veveří Castle, a chateau; Brno Zoo, a zoological facility; the Monument to the Victims of the First and Second World Wars, a memorial; and the Chapel of St. Anne, a church.
