Peruc: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture and History

The Church of St. Peter and Paul is a single-nave parish church. The builder E. Kondel constructed it in 1768–1769 in an elevated position opposite the château grounds. Peruc Château was created in the Baroque period by converting a Gothic fortress; the building has three wings and three avant-corps.

From 1947 to 1953, Emil Filla worked in part of Peruc Château, where he primarily created landscape paintings of the Central Bohemian Uplands. In 1958, the Fillova pamětní síň was opened at Peruc Château.

The Museum české vesnice is housed in a former Baroque barn dating from 1876 in Peruc Château Park and can be reached through a gate on Emila Filly Square. The objects on display include agricultural machinery, ploughs, fire engines, and horse- or ox-drawn carts. The museum also features exhibitions on beekeeping and tools used in the blacksmith's trade.

The Perucko Educational Trail is an approximately 12.5 km circular route that starts and ends at the COOP shopping centre on Komenského Street in Peruc. It comprises 20 stations; information panels provide interesting facts about the history, nature and sights of Peruc and the surrounding area.
