Všechovice combines a varied architectural history with opportunities to explore the landscape on foot or by bike. The castle and the Church of the Holy Trinity mark historical themes; the architecture associated with Bohuslav Fuchs adds a distinctive note. The river, a protected memorial tree and marked trails round out the picture of the town. When choosing where to stay, you can weigh up whether architectural history or outdoor activities should be the focus.

Landscape and Nature

Všechovice lies in the Záhoří landscape. The Hostýnské vrchy hills border it to the south; the Oderské vrchy hills can be seen in the distance to the north. The Juhyně flows through the town. The yew (tis červený) is a protected memorial tree and has been listed in the central nature conservation register since 2004. The grounds with the tree are freely accessible.

The Castle’s History in Two Building Phases

The Renaissance core of Všechovice Castle was built on the site of a fortification dating from 1378; it includes coats of arms and cellars. Around 1770, the castle was remodelled in the Baroque style. Two clearly distinct phases are thus central to the same building: the Renaissance core and the later Baroque transformation. A small, freely accessible park surrounds the castle on two sides; check access locally.

Church and Functionalist Architecture

The Church of the Holy Trinity stands at the highest point in the municipality. Two painted windows in the presbytery depict Saint Teresa and Saint John Sarkander. The cemetery complex was built in 1926–1927 to a design by Bohuslav Fuchs, who was born in Všechovice. It is considered an exceptional example of early functionalist cemetery architecture in the Czech context. The church and cemetery offer different points of interest: the painted windows of a religious building on the one hand, and an ensemble associated with early functionalist cemetery architecture on the other.

Bohuslav Fuchs in the Exhibition

The exhibition about Bohuslav Fuchs is housed in the former school building from 1888. Its materials include archival and contemporary photographs, documents, plans, films and audio recordings. Five architectural models are labelled in Braille and can be explored by touch by blind visitors. The exhibition thus brings together visual and archival materials with models that can also be explored through the sense of touch.

On Foot or by Bike

A blue-marked hiking trail runs through the cadastral area of Všechovice. Nearby, a path branches off from the blue-marked hiking route to the ruins of Trmačov Castle. Several cycle routes pass through Všechovice and the surrounding area. For day planning, the options differ by mode of transport: on foot, there is a marked route with a named destination nearby, while several cycle routes cross the town and its surroundings.

Culture and Traditions

The Šimon association organises Záhoří balls and theatre performances. It also organises the Shrovetide tradition of Vodění medvěda and takes part in traditional pilgrimages and folklore festivals. If a particular event is to determine the timing of your trip, check the date in advance.
