History

The local economic history has also been passed down through specific activities. In the 18th century, knife-making, work in a fulling mill, sewing slippers that were part of traditional costumes, weaving, carpentry and tanning were among the occupations of the inhabitants of Záriečie. Záriečie is also home to the birthplace of the ethnographer and museum employee J. Geryk, which is marked with a commemorative plaque.

Culture

The Evangelical church in Záriečie was built in 1786 as a Toleration church without a tower on the site of a wooden church and was renovated in 1859, with 1856 also partly given as the year, and fitted with a tower. The building is a Neoclassical hall church with a roof turret; a Protestant gallery runs around the interior on three sides. The gallery houses a one-manual organ with nine stops, whose origins are estimated to date to the beginning of the 20th century.
