Počátky: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The Počátky urban heritage zone was designated in 1990 and primarily protects the historic town centre with its elongated square. It includes Baroque and Neoclassical townhouses as well as preserved parts of the original urban structure.

Culture and history

The Počátky Town Museum was opened to the public in 1893 and is considered the oldest publicly accessible museum in its region. In the “Měšťanský pokoj” exhibition, it displays furniture, valuable glass and porcelain objects, portraits of the Brdlík family, a tiled stove and children's toys.

Since 1949, the birthplace of the poet Otokar Březina in Počátky has been open to the public. The present High Baroque Church of St Catherine was built around 1730. Počátky also served as a filming location for scenes from “Postřižiny”.
