A small square chapel on the village green and a 1920 memorial to the men who fell in the First World War give Veselá two tangible historical points of interest. There is also a hiking trail through the village, a nearby cycling route and the seasonal use of the local fire-water reservoir for swimming. You can choose Veselá for its local history, outdoor activities or seasonal swimming spot.

History and Landscape

The memorial was erected in 1920 to the men who fell in the First World War. Another historical episode concerns the brothers Drslav of Nezbavětice and Habart of Nevid: they gave Veselá to the Dominican monastery in Plzeň. The former farmstead, dating from the 16th century, is thought to contain the remains of a Renaissance tower fortress. A wetland lies at the southern edge of the former Veselá farmstead. The year 1920 and the 16th-century farmstead represent different historical periods. The gift also connects Veselá with the Dominican monastery in Plzeň.
