Dušejov: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Dušejov is home to the Baroque Church of St. Bartholomew, a protected cultural monument. It was built from 1780 to 1787 according to a design by Prague builder Jan Josef Pachner.

Culture and History

A special historical landmark is the granite Křížový kámen. On its smoothed side, three irregular engraved crosses bear their marks; symbolically, they could represent the extinction of the Dub family. The memorial stone is located in the small wood called “Dubovo boroví”, between Road 602 from Jihlava and the agricultural cooperative.

The statue of the night watchman stands in Dušejov’s village square. It symbolically commemorates the village’s former night watchman and older local rhythms of life. At the same time, it was created as a new distinctive feature of the square.

The sculpture Spirit of the Tree preserves the memory of the ash tree from whose wood it was made. In Dušejov’s village square, it is presented as a second patron saint and is intended to show passers-by the way.

At the former site of Zemanův mlýn, a millstone roughly commemorates the former mill. The site is freely accessible.

Activities and Events

Dušejov’s multifunctional sports field is open to the public and can be used free of charge. Tennis, volleyball, nohejbal, basketball, streetball and badminton can be played there.

The traditional Pálení čarodějnic takes place at Dušejov’s football field. Before the bonfire is lit, the event includes a lantern procession with a children’s activity.

The traditional spring outing begins at the sakura tree in front of the municipal office in Dušejov. Cesta za piráty was the 18th edition of the CESTA event series.
