Trest: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

St. Martin’s Church is the oldest monument in Třešť. From here, the Stations of the Cross with 14 stations leads to Šibeniční vrch.

Culture and History

The Třešť Synagogue has a vaulted hall with stucco decoration as well as a Neoclassical façade with an arcaded gallery. After a fire destroyed the former Třešť Synagogue in 1825, a new building was erected in the Empire style.

The preserved rooms house three permanent exhibitions: on the ground floor, “Zaváté stopy” is dedicated to the history of the Jewish community of Třešť; on the first floor, “Franz Kafka a Třešť” explores the life of Franz Kafka; the third exhibition is entitled “Po stopách zmizelých sousedů”.

The Třešť branch of the Muzeum Vysočiny Jihlava presents a permanent exhibition about J. A. Schumpeter. The first publicly accessible exhibition of the Muzeum Tesla was entitled “Tesla, dědictví Č.S. elektroprůmyslu”. For groups, the Muzeum Tesla can organize special guided tours by prior telephone arrangement.

Parks and Trails

Třešť Castle Park is a naturally landscaped park dating from the 18th century and surrounds the castle building on all sides. In addition to hotel guests, it is also open to the public; public access is limited to certain hours.

Traditions

Since 2015, the Betlémská cesta has been listed in the Czech list of intangible cultural heritage of traditional folk culture. It brings to life the more than 200-year-old nativity-scene-making tradition maintained in Třešť families and can be visited annually from December 26 to February 2.

At the traditional July event Dřevořezání, woodcarvers from all over the Czech Republic create new figures for a shared nativity scene.
