A Baroque church, traces of a fortress and views of Velíš and Zebín give Nemyčeves a range of different attractions for a stay. When choosing a destination, you can focus on its architectural and local history, or make hiking and cycling in the surrounding countryside the centre of your trip.
Church of St Peter and Paul
The Church of St Peter and Paul is a single-nave Baroque building erected by the Jesuits around 1721 on the foundations of an earlier Gothic building. Its construction history can therefore be divided into two phases: the Gothic predecessor and the early 18th-century Baroque church. This sequence gives the architecture a specific historical context and appeals to travellers interested in considering the building’s form and origins together.
In 1900 and 1901, the church was restored with wall paintings by J. Podlipný; it has a Baroque oratory on the upper floor. The restoration and oratory add two further aspects to the building’s history. For a cultural-history focus, the building’s form, historical development and a specific architectural detail can thus be considered side by side.
Fortress traces and local history
The fortress in Nemyčeves already existed in 1392. A small part of the central area of the fortifications remains, along with raised ground beneath Blockhouse No. 100 and in its garden. The early date and the surviving parts answer different questions: 1392 establishes that the fortress existed, while the remains provide a tangible connection to the site. Comparing it with the church reveals two different historical themes in the same place: sacred architecture and the history of fortifications.
Hills and outdoor activities
From Nemyčeves, you can enjoy views of the nearby hills of Velíš and Zebín. The surrounding countryside offers opportunities for hiking and cycling. Taking in the scenery and getting active are therefore distinct aspects of a stay: the hills give the views specific names, while hiking and cycling offer outdoor activities.
In the region around Nemyčeves, the Mariánská zahrada is suitable for hiking and cycling excursions. It offers a regional perspective alongside the local opportunities in the surrounding countryside. When planning your trip, you can therefore distinguish between activities nearby and an excursion within the wider region.

Views of Velíš and Zebín add a specific sense of place to this perspective.
