Vyskytná Nad Jihlavou: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Vyskytná nad Jihlavou combines sacred architecture with a landscape full of historical traces. One specific example is the Church of Saint Lawrence: at its core, it is a late Gothic single-nave church that was given a Baroque makeover at the beginning of the 18th century. It stands in an enclosed cemetery area with a mortuary chapel and is protected as a cultural monument under registration number 20448/7-5404.

Culture

The chapel in Hlávkov stands in the village square; Hlávkov is a district of the municipality of Vyskytná nad Jihlavou. Following extensive structural and restoration work, it acquired its present appearance in 2002. It contains frescoes depicting Saints Peter, Paul, Joseph, Anne, John the Baptist and Vincent Ferrer, as well as two group portraits.

The free-standing Chapel of Saint Adalbert in Hlávkov is an example of vernacular sacred architecture from the second half of the 18th century. Its square floor plan, corner pilasters, rectangular entrance and four-sided roof, which transitions into a bell tower, define its appearance. A children's playground was built immediately beside it in 2012.

Landscape

In the Vyskytensko landscape, untouched meadows and wetlands alternate with historic field patterns shaped into elongated strips or circular sections. The field paths and roads are lined with distinctive centuries-old lime trees, wayside crosses, wayside shrines and chapels.
