Culture and local character

The Evangelical church in Zádveřice was built in its present form between 1860 and 1869 after the previous stone church was destroyed by fire. Its tower houses three bells that are still in use; their eventful history is depicted on panels in the entrance area. Two bells confiscated in 1917 were saved in a unique way and are still used today as memorial bells.
