The Chrbonínský potok flows through Chrbonín; the Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary stands in the center. East of Chrbonín, the Lípa rodáků commemorative lime tree was planted on May 8, 1989. These points lead to different aspects of local history: the village center, the history of a building, and the memory of a specific planting. There is also the original settlement site and a succession of changing territorial affiliations. If you choose Chrbonín for a stay, you can explore its architectural, settlement and territorial history as distinct themes.
The chapel in the center and its predecessor
The Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary stands in the center of Chrbonín; its year of construction is unknown. It replaced an earlier bell tower at the crossroads near house number 30. This connects a centrally located building with a predecessor that had its own specific location. For those interested in architectural history, this connection offers a distinct way to explore local history: the chapel is linked to an earlier structure, even though its construction date remains unknown.
Repairs to the chapel were completed in August 2024. If you plan to visit the chapel, check its current condition in advance.
Territorial affiliations and settlement history
The history of the village’s territorial affiliations offers a different perspective from its architectural history. Chrbonín originally belonged to the Choustník estate, then to the Radenín estate after 1620, and later, until 1878, to the Kolowrat-Krakovský family. This sequence comprises the original affiliation, a change after 1620, and the later affiliation with the family until 1878. The village’s development can therefore also be explored through its distinct historical territorial ties, rather than solely through the history of the chapel.
Another reference point in local history is Chrbonín’s original settlement site, identified by the field name “V Liškách.” The Lípa rodáků commemorative lime tree adds a different kind of reference point: it was planted east of Chrbonín on May 8, 1989. The field name identifies the settlement site, while the lime tree is associated with a precise planting date and an eastern location.
Which historical theme matches your interests?
The themes differ both in subject matter and in their time periods. The chapel is associated with an unknown construction date and the replacement of a bell tower; the sequence of territorial affiliations includes the dates after 1620 and until 1878; and May 8, 1989, is given as the planting date of the commemorative lime tree. If you are especially interested in architectural history, the chapel takes center stage. The sequence of territorial affiliations offers a longer-term view of local history, while the lime tree provides a specific connection to commemorative culture. This distinction can help you discover Chrbonín through the theme that appeals to you most.
