Two chapels give the local history of Čelčice a tangible setting: sv. Florián stands in the village square, while sv. Jana Nepomuckého stands on a hill beside a field path to Výšovice. Their different locations and historical contexts complement the village’s agricultural past. The Prostějov–Čelčice cycle route offers another perspective on Čelčice. For planning your trip, cultural history and cycling are two distinct themes to explore.

Chapels in Different Locations

The chapel of sv. Floriána is the older of the two. It probably dates from the late 17th century; a small tower was added in autumn 1920. It is worth distinguishing the two dates: the chapel’s construction is dated only approximately, while the later addition is assigned to autumn 1920. As well as its location in the village square, the chapel therefore has a specific story of development.

The chapel of sv. Jana Nepomuckého dates from the 18th century, probably from around 1730. It stands on a hill beside a field path to Výšovice, in a different location from sv. Florián. Comparing the chapels raises two questions: where are they located, and which period are they associated with? The answers differ in each case—from the village square to the hill, and from the late 17th to the 18th century.

Agriculture as Part of Local History

Agriculture is also part of Čelčice’s historical development. This included growing sugar beet and cereals such as wheat and rye. Earlier garden produce included apples, plums, greengages, pears and cherries. These details add another dimension to the architectural history, drawing attention to arable farming and fruit growing as part of the village’s history. The village can therefore be understood not only through its chapels and their dates, but also through earlier forms of agricultural use.

Cycle Route and a Landscape Detail

The Prostějov–Čelčice cycle route project was implemented to promote cycle tourism and a healthy lifestyle. This adds a distinct connection to cycling alongside the chapels and local history. When planning your trip, you can consider these as separate themes: the village’s cultural history on the one hand, and the cycle route between Prostějov and Čelčice on the other.

A separate landscape detail concerns the pond near Čelčice. A description from 2016 mentions a paved road running alongside the pond and leading almost as far as Větřák Hill. This information is time-specific, as the road surface and route conditions may change. If you take this detail into account when planning, check the current conditions in advance.

Plan Your Stay Around Your Interests

When looking for a holiday apartment, it may help to distinguish between the different themes. First decide whether the chapels and the village’s historical development, cycling, or both matter to your stay. This lets you plan around your own interests without combining the different aspects of the area into a fixed itinerary.
