Holiday apartment in Blazice: Church, History and Cycle Route 6137

Blazice combines cultural history and landscape connections with a signposted cycle route. The village reflects different layers of history: sacred architecture from the late 18th century, memories of Leoš Janáček, and a local history that reaches back to the first written reference in the Middle Ages.

Culture and History

The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Blazice is the focal point. It was built in 1788 and is a late Baroque, single-nave building. The structure has three bays with so-called Prussian vaults, which lead into a rectangular presbytery and a sacristy. Another memorial in the village is the plaque commemorating CLAY-EVA, unveiled in Blazice on September 1, 2018.

The first written reference to Blazice dates from 1358. At that time, there was a mill and a farmstead there. Rácov is also part of the recorded local history: from 1460 onward, Rácov and its farmstead were mentioned only as abandoned. Leoš Janáček provides a musical connection. As a student, he visited his uncle, the local priest, in Blazice in the 1860s. During these stays, Leoš Janáček enjoyed playing the organ in the church in Blazice.
