The small Švehlova zahrádka park is in the middle of Brnirov’s village square; the Chapel of St. Martin also stands on the square. The Švehlův památník adds a memorial story of its own to the village’s history. The village and its surroundings also offer starting points for walks and bike rides.

Village History Between the Stream and the Castle

Brnirov developed gradually along a stream that rises below the 640-metre-high Dobrá hora. The settlement’s history is therefore linked to the stream; the elevation of 640 metres belongs to Dobrá hora. The earliest surviving mention of Brnirov dates from 1508 and is connected with the sale of Rýzmberk Castle. This date marks the earliest surviving mention, not the village’s founding. Two distinct historical references therefore sit side by side: gradual development along the stream and the written record connected with the sale of Rýzmberk Castle. The landscape and village history can be considered together without equating the earliest mention with the beginning of settlement.

The Village Square and Memorial History

The Chapel of St. Martin, dating from 1854, stands on the village square. Švehlova zahrádka is a small park in the middle of the square. This brings together two distinct features of the village: a building with a specific year and a small park. The Švehlův památník has a history of its own: members of the municipal administration and other residents excavated and restored it on 30 June 1994. The monument bears the original inscription “Švehlově památce 1935”. The years refer to different things: 1854 to the chapel, 1935 to the text of the inscription, and 1994 to the excavation and restoration. This keeps the building date, inscription, and later work on the monument distinct from one another.

Walks, Field Paths, and Cycling Routes

Walking trails and field paths are suitable for walks and bike rides and are located in and around Brnirov. They therefore cover both the village and its surroundings.

You can choose accordingly, based on your preferred mode of travel and whether you want to explore the village or its surroundings.

Getting Around the Village

A pavement runs along one or both sides of Brnirov’s main road. Parking areas are on the newer roads above road I/22. These are distinct points to bear in mind when planning: a pavement along the main road and parking areas on the newer roads above I/22. You can take the relevant information into account when walking around the village or arriving by car.
