Velké Všelisy combines historic architectural styles with a location between a hillside and a valley. Highlights include the history of the castle, rural buildings and designated cycling routes. Walking paths are also part of the local landscape; when planning a hike, it is important to distinguish them from a separately designated KČT hiking trail.

Castle History and Architecture

The castle in Veliké Všelisy was built in 1832 and apparently incorporated the remains of an earlier fortress. The year dates the castle’s construction; the connection with the older fortress remains a cautious conjecture. Two barrel-vaulted ceilings have been preserved beneath the north wing. A barrel vault has a curved ceiling that runs lengthwise; the two ceilings locate this architectural feature beneath a specific part of the castle. This connects the building’s history with a specific architectural detail without presenting the presumed earlier history as certain.

Rural Character and Location

The settlement is shaped by agriculture and features traditional rural buildings; a small country château adds to this character. The buildings are predominantly rectangular and have gable or half-hipped roofs. A gable roof consists of two sloping roof surfaces that meet at the ridge. A half-hipped roof has partially sloping gable ends. These roof styles help define the architectural character of the village: alongside the castle, the predominantly rectangular buildings and their rooflines also shape its appearance.

Velké Všelisy lies above the deep valley of the Košátecký potok stream. Parts of the village are on its north-facing slope, while others are in the valley itself. Both the hillside and the valley are therefore part of the village’s setting; Velké Všelisy cannot be associated with just one of these landforms. Walking paths are available. However, no KČT hiking trail is separately designated there.

Cycling Routes and Their Course

Cycling route CS 8158 runs from Bezno via Velké Všelisy, Peklo and Zamachy to route CS 0009. In the Velké Všelisy area, CS 8159 runs from CS 8158 via Malé Všelisy and Boreč to Skalsko. Between Velké Všelisy and Peklo, the CS 8158 section follows a well-maintained road.

The two connections differ mainly in the places they pass through and where they connect: CS 8158 runs from Bezno to CS 0009; CS 8159 joins CS 8158 in the Velké Všelisy area and continues to Skalsko. The road description refers to the section between Velké Všelisy and Peklo. When planning your trip, you can first compare the routes based on the places and connections listed.

Plan Your Stay

When searching for a holiday apartment in Velké Všelisy, you can start by deciding what you would like to focus on during your stay. The castle and rural architecture offer a cultural perspective on the village; if you want to cycle, you can distinguish between the two named routes by their courses. Consider whether local history or cycling connections should be the main focus of your plans. This way, your choice of what to look for is connected to the specific features of the village.
