Velký Třebešov combines tangible local history with opportunities to stay active. The church, the fortress, and a freely accessible sandstone sculpture group offer several points of interest for culture enthusiasts; the sports complex and cycling route provide a different focus. If you are looking for an apartment, this distinction can help you choose the town based on your travel plans.

Church and Architectural History

The church in Velký Třebešov was first mentioned in 1355, and was already a parish church at that time. Gothic window surrounds have been preserved in the presbytery (the altar area) and sacristy. Its early status as a parish church describes its ecclesiastical role, while the window surrounds are specific Gothic features. The fortress in Velký Třebešov was built around the middle of the 16th century. The historical span therefore extends from parish history to a structure from the early modern period. Those interested in cultural history can explore different periods and architectural features here.

The Holy Trinity Sculpture Group

The sandstone sculpture group of the Holy Trinity adds a later artistic touch. The sculptor J. Vašata from Hořice created it in 1816. It stands at an intersection next to the “U Pitašů” restaurant and is freely accessible. Its material, artist, date of creation, and location provide a specific point of reference for local history. Free access is also useful to know if you would like to include this cultural site in your stay.

Sport and Cycling

The sports complex by the “U Vagonu” pub includes tennis courts, facilities for nohejbal and volleyball, and a children’s playground. You can reserve a time slot for the tennis courts. Reservations and payment must be made at least 24 hours in advance; otherwise, the courts are not guaranteed to be open. If you plan to play tennis, take this lead time into account when planning your day.

Another option for staying active is the “cyklo 34 km” cycling route. The “cyklo 34 km” cycling route passes through Velký Třebešov. For choosing where to stay, it offers a different way to be active than the sports complex: there, the focus is on individual facilities; here, it is on a 34-kilometre cycling route. You can therefore consider on-site sports and cycling as distinct options when planning your trip.

Local Events

The Velkotřebešovské kolečko is a local sporting event. In 2025, its 29th edition took place on 9 August; in 2026, its 30th edition was held on 8 August. Both dates fell in August, one year apart. The traditional Třebešovské posvícení featured competitions, music, and an extensive festive menu on 20 and 21 September 2025. These examples show different aspects of local events: a sporting event and a celebration with competitions, music, and food.

Choosing Where to Stay

When looking for an apartment, you can start by deciding what matters most to you: is local history the deciding factor, or would you also like to include sport and cycling? Česká Skalice, considered the birthplace of Božena Němcová, is about two kilometres from Velký Třebešov and adds its own local connection to your choice of destination.
