In Stojice, a historic village setting, a marked cycling route and a location in the northwestern part of the Železné hory come together. Those looking to combine village history with outdoor activity will find specific points of interest here: the late Gothic church, preserved rural buildings, the Stojický rybník and route 4128. When choosing accommodation, it is worth deciding in advance what you want to focus on during your trip.
Church and historic village structure
The late Gothic Kostel Všech svatých includes a cemetery, a mortuary and an enclosure wall. A remarkable ribbed vault has been preserved in the presbytery. The church can therefore be understood both through its architectural layout and through a specific detail of its interior.
The historical dates mark different stages: in 1350, the church was transferred to the newly established Diocese of Litomyšl. The associated parish ceased to exist in the 17th century. In 1867, the building was given a Neo-Gothic renovation by F. Schmoranz. The transfer, the end of the parish and the later architectural changes describe different aspects of the village’s history.
Historic buildings can also be found beyond the church. Stojice has a sandstone statue of Saint John of Nepomuk dating from 1672. An ensemble of rural village buildings preserves the historic village fabric and its architectural character. Sýpka Stojice is a surviving former granary. These examples differ clearly: a monument, an established village structure and a former granary represent different scales of the built heritage.
Water, cycling route and local amenities
The Stojický rybník is located in the built-up area of Stojice, along the Struha stream. Marked cycling route 4128 also runs through the built-up area. These local details provide two different points of reference for planning: the pond is a local landscape feature, while the cycling route is a marked connection through the village. If you are cycling, you can explore Stojice along this route.
The STOJICKÉ SAKO nohejbal event for the village’s challenge cup takes place annually in Stojice. If you are planning a trip around this event, check the exact date in advance. The multipurpose court at the sports complex can be reserved in person or by phone through the facility manager. If you would like to use it, arrange the reservation with the facility manager before making your plans.
Another traditional event is an annual Advent concert in the local church. Here, too, the exact date is important when planning your trip. If you would like to plan your stay around the concert, check the date in advance.
Location and finding accommodation
Stojice is located in the northwestern part of the Železné hory. The Železné hory Protected Landscape Area begins approximately six kilometres from Stojice. For road connections, the I/17 links the village with Heřmanův Městec, Chrudim and Čáslav. These details provide a regional context without suggesting that the local attractions are in the towns mentioned.
