A prominent granary, two gateways and long stable wings define the Sechutice farmyard in Hadačka, Výrov. Alongside its Baroque architecture, historical dates, memorial sites and two cycling routes offer further ideas for planning a trip. You can focus on architectural and local history, or on cycling.

The Sechutice farmyard: a Baroque complex

Thanks to its authentic Baroque layout and high-quality construction, the farmyard is one of the most valuable and best-preserved farmyards of Plasy Monastery. The large complex has a rectangular ground plan. Its defining structures include the prominent granary, two gateways, long stable and livestock wings, and a barn with three threshing floors.

These structures point to different functions within a farmyard: the granary was used for storage, the stable and livestock wings for keeping animals, and the threshing floors for processing the harvest. Together, they tell us more than the story of a single building: the layout of the farm buildings is also part of the character of the Baroque complex. Those interested in architectural history will find a specific focus here, where form and agricultural function can be considered together.

Local history and memorial sites

Výrov is thought to have been founded around 1300; the first written mention of the village dates to 1307. The two pieces of information have different significance: the approximate founding date is a historical estimate, while 1307 marks the first written mention. A major turning point came during the Thirty Years’ War. After Swedish raids in 1639, much of Výrov was burned down.

The Chapel of St. Vojtěch was built in 1901 with contributions and support from all local residents and people from Výrov who lived elsewhere. Written records of the Výrov-Hadačka Volunteer Fire Brigade also date back to 1901. Its early cultural activities included carnival processions and social gatherings. These traditions complement the architectural history with a glimpse of community life in the village.

Several memorial sites each have a specific location: a stone memorial cross stands on the grounds of the farmyard, and a monument to the fallen stands in front of No. 30 in Výrov. The wooden bell tower is on the road between Výrov and Hadačka. Their different forms and locations make these landmarks distinct points of reference for local history. The Bučecký stream also flows through Výrov, adding a landscape dimension to the historical themes.

Cycling routes through Výrov and Sechutice

The “Baroko I” cycling route is 37 kilometres long and passes through Výrov and Sechutice. The “Po stopách cisterciáků” route also passes through both villages. This means there are two named routes connected with Výrov and Sechutice; the total length is also given for “Baroko I”. It is advisable to check the current signage before setting off.
