The four-row lime tree avenue Rohanka, a park gate closed to the public and two possible detours give a visit to Paceřice a tangible landmark in the landscape. The avenue was laid out in 1850. The “Paceřice, Rohanka” bus stop is at the end of the avenue, which leads directly towards Sychrov Castle. From the stop, walk along the lime tree avenue to the rear gate of Sychrov Park. The gate is closed to the public; you can go around the park on the left or take a less frequented path on the right. Check the current bus service and the conditions at the gate and on the paths in advance.
Protected area and village character
The Sychrov Castle heritage protection zone, designated in 1977, runs through the area of Paceřice and also extends to part of the Husa settlement. If the precise boundary is important for your plans, check it against the current official map.
Log houses, Villa Fialka and Husa
A number of 19th-century log houses have survived in Paceřice to this day. The long, two-storey buildings have gabled roofs, with stable and utility buildings adjoining their ground floors. A gabled roof consists of two sloping surfaces that meet at the ridge. Together with the attached utility areas, this design clearly illustrates the connection between living quarters and agricultural outbuildings.
Villa Fialka, at house number 17 in Husa, offers a different perspective. It was originally the home of Vojtěch Mašek, the gardener at Sychrov Castle. The Bušek family later lived there. Its members included Karel Bušek, a writer and translator who published under the pseudonym Bohdan Kaminský. The villa adds a story about a particular house and its residents to the picture, while the log houses represent a recurring architectural style.
Petr Bušek also links Husa with the castle: he created the castle’s wood carvings and worked from 1856 at the brickworks in the village of Husa. There, he founded a business that was successfully continued after his death by his sons Dominik and Konstantin. The two Bušek connections highlight different things: Karel Bušek represents literature and translation, while Petr Bušek represents the link between the castle’s wood carvings and his business in Husa.
The U Divoké husy inn gave the Husa settlement its name and was built together with a smithy and several small houses. Unlike the personal story of Villa Fialka, this account explains the name of the Husa settlement.
Springs and summer use
In the past, the abundant springs in Studnice had long been the main source of drinking water for all of Paceřice. They gave their name to a settlement belonging to the municipality. This adds the area’s former water supply and the origin of a settlement name to its architectural and craft history.
In summer, the fire-fighting reservoir in Paceřice becomes a welcome spot for cooling off and playing in the water. Check local conditions before visiting. This means that, alongside the area’s historical stories, seasonal activities are also worth considering.
