Culture and History
St. Wenceslas Church in Bechlín has been mentioned as an Early Gothic parish church since 1259. The protected ensemble comprises the church building, the bell tower, the cemetery boundary wall, and the associated plots no. 499, 500, and 501.
The bell tower is a free-standing, two-storey rectangular building at the edge of a raised terrain terrace. Another historical feature is Villa Augusta Švagrovský: the pseudo-Renaissance building with a half-timbered upper floor was constructed in the Swiss style in 1874–1875. The writer Jan Neruda frequently stayed there; the poetry collection “Písně kosmické” was created in the villa.
