Vejprnice can be placed in the context of two historical themes when planning a trip: the High Baroque Church of Kostel sv. Vojtěcha and the memorial in Suchý důl. One geographical point of reference is the Vejprnický potok: Vejprnice extends along both banks of the stream. The town’s description thus brings together architectural history, remembrance, and its location by the water. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Vejprnice can base their choice of location on the themes of architectural history and remembrance.

Church of Kostel sv. Vojtěcha

Kostel sv. Vojtěcha is a High Baroque church built between 1722 and 1726. It is listed in the Central List of National Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic. The construction dates and the heritage listing offer two different perspectives on the same building: the dates place its construction in time, while the listing establishes its status as a cultural monument.

The church complex includes two identically designed square chapels built into the eastern perimeter wall. Their matching form makes them recognizable as a pair, while their position in the wall also connects them to the church’s architectural setting. The tomb of Count František Josef z Vrtby is located in front of the church tower’s west façade. The site also includes a covered connecting bridge. This gives architecture enthusiasts several specific points of interest: the High Baroque main building, the pair of chapels, the tomb, and the bridge.

Memorial in Suchý důl

The memorial in Suchý důl shifts the focus from architectural history to the events of the Heydrichiade. It commemorates people who were executed in 1942. It consists of a granite monument with a metal crown of thorns and an inscription, as well as a low wall made of granite blocks. These elements give the memorial a clearly recognizable form: the monument and wall are its structural elements, while the crown and inscription shape the monument’s design. Here, the focus is on remembering the executions of 1942, whereas the church offers an approach to local history through its construction dates and architecture.

Geography and route planning

The Vejprnický potok adds a geographical point of reference to the historical themes: Vejprnice extends along both banks of the stream. For cyclists and pedestrians, it is important to distinguish between a planned project and an available route. The project for a shared path from Vejprnice to Skvrňany is intended to run along the railway line from Vejprnice station toward Plzeň as far as the viaduct near Nová Hospoda. A length of 1,966 metres is planned within the municipality; the shared route is to be marked with traffic sign C9. If you want to plan a specific journey using this connection, check its implementation status first.
