Doloplazy can be understood through two distinct themes: festival culture and a range of local monuments. Its setting in the first hills of the Tršická pahorkatina also adds to its character. If you are considering a stay, you can weigh up whether you are primarily interested in the cultural event, the village’s history or its landscape.

Jízda králů and the 2026 date

Jízda králů is the traditional ethnographic festival in Doloplazy. The 2026 edition was scheduled for 4 and 5 July. Those dates have already passed; the date information refers to the 2026 edition. If you would like to plan a future trip around the festival, check the date of the relevant edition. This lets you distinguish the specific festival event from the other features that define Doloplazy regardless of the festival.

Church history and art

A chapel dedicated to Saint Urban once stood on the site of today’s church in Doloplazy. The local church was dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius in May 1896. These two details refer to different stages in the history of the religious site: the former chapel and the church’s dedication. Together, they lend depth to the village’s history without conflating the two.

Another local attraction is a valuable Baroque statue of Saint John of Nepomuk. It stands opposite a chapel and has been listed as a cultural monument since 1958. Its location, Baroque style and monument status offer a tangible point of interest for travellers interested in religious art and local history.

Monuments and memorials

A statue of Saint Wenceslas is also one of Doloplazy’s attractions, along with several crosses. The village also has a monument to President Masaryk. The war memorial is located in the village square. Thus, alongside statues of saints and crosses, there are also memorials to President Masaryk and those who fell. These different themes mean the village cannot be defined by just one type of monument.

For orientation, it is helpful to consider the local landmarks by theme: the church, former chapel, statues of saints and crosses sit alongside monuments commemorating public figures and events. The village square is specifically the site of the war memorial. This makes it possible to explore local history through several distinct features, rather than associating it only with the festival or a single building.

Landscape, transport links and accommodation

Doloplazy lies in the first hills of the Tršická pahorkatina. A busy motorway runs a few hundred metres from the village. At the same time, despite the nearby traffic, the village square in Doloplazy has a peaceful rural atmosphere. These statements describe different aspects of the village: the hilly setting describes the landscape, the motorway its transport links, and the peaceful atmosphere specifically the village square.

If you are considering Doloplazy as a place to stay, you can weigh these features separately. Its monuments and church history make it a good fit for a stay focused on local culture; its hilly setting places it in its landscape. The festival date, meanwhile, is tied to the 2026 edition. Keeping these distinctions in mind can help you choose a destination that suits your interests and travel dates.
