Sveradice brings together two chapels with different histories, a private agricultural museum, and several trails. The Chapel of St. Bartholomew stands on Kostelík Hill; in Sveradice itself, there is also the Baroque Chapel of St. Anne. Two local cycling routes pass through the village, and a blue hiking trail connects Sveradice with Oselce, Chanovice, and Horažďovice. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Sveradice, you can plan your stay around your preferred focus: architectural history, hiking, or cycling.

Chapels with Different Histories

The Chapel of St. Bartholomew on Kostelík Hill was founded in the second half of the 16th century. It was enlarged to its present form in 1843. Its Baroque altar, with a painting of St. Bartholomew, dates from the early 17th century. The chapel’s founding, furnishings, and enlargement thus belong to different periods. This sequence offers a concrete introduction to its architectural history: the altar was created before the enlargement that gave the chapel its present form.

A second Baroque chapel stands in Sveradice itself: the Chapel of St. Anne. It was built in 1834 on the site of a smaller chapel and was formerly dedicated to St. Bartholomew. The name Bartholomew therefore appears in two different building histories: as the name of the chapel on Kostelík Hill and as the former dedication of the Chapel of St. Anne. This distinction helps visitors tell apart two buildings with different timelines.

The village’s profile also includes a private agricultural museum. It complements the focus on the chapels with a distinct agricultural theme.
