Novosedly offers several clear reasons to stay: two rural Baroque farmsteads, a documented local history with a first recorded mention in 1204, and a cycle route that passes through the village. A monument to those who fell in the First World War stands in the village square; Novosedly is also located on the Novosedelský potok. Architecture, history and cycling reveal different sides of the village and can be given different weight depending on your travel interests.

Rural Baroque at two farmsteads

Farmstead No. 21 dates from 1850 and features two gables in the rural Baroque style as well as an ornate balustrade. No. 30 dates from the mid-19th century; its gable is designed in the rural Baroque style and decorated with volutes and an Eye of God motif. The term rural Baroque refers to a rural expression of Baroque design. Volutes are curled decorative forms; the Eye of God motif is a distinct image symbol. The two variants can therefore be compared: No. 21 combines two gables with a balustrade, while at No. 30 the gable decoration and its ornaments take centre stage. The dates also set them apart: the year 1850 is given for No. 21, while No. 30 is more generally dated to the mid-19th century.

Document, monastery and traces of gold panning

Novosedly is first mentioned in a deed of donation by Přemysl Ottokar I from 1204. The same deed made the village property of St. George’s Convent in Prague. The date thus links the earliest written reference to the village with a specific history of ownership. It predates the rural Baroque farmsteads of the 19th century by several centuries; those exploring the village’s history can view the deed and the later buildings as two distinct historical layers. Remains of gold panning extend as far as Novosedly, adding a trace from the surrounding landscape to its history.

Cycle route and getting oriented in the village

Cycle Route 2 “Naučnou stezkou” passes through Novosedly. Route details may change, so check the current route before setting out. Class II and III roads provide satisfactory connections between Novosedly and the surrounding area and are another point to consider when planning your journey. The route and the road connections answer different questions: the former passes through Novosedly as a cycle route, while the latter describe how the village connects with its surroundings. The Novosedelský potok is another specific geographical reference.

Facilities for planning your trip

In 2025, Novosedly had a kindergarten, a one-class school, a library, a playground with a children’s area, a shop, and a restaurant with a function room. This overview ranges from education and leisure to shopping and dining. If you plan to visit the shop or restaurant, check their current opening hours in advance. These facilities offer a glimpse of local everyday life; the farmsteads and cycle route, by contrast, are more specific points of interest for those interested in architecture and cycling.
