An octagonal bell tower, the history of pottery and wetlands provide different points of interest for a stay in Stanoviště. There is also a cycling route through the municipality and a multi-purpose sports court available to the general public. You can tailor your trip to local history, nature and activity.
Bell tower, settlement and pottery
The bell tower in Stanoviště has folk Baroque-style features and an octagonal floor plan. Octagonal means eight-sided: this shape is also evident in the tent roof and the open octagonal lantern. An onion dome sits above the lantern. These terms distinguish the floor plan from the roof design: the lantern is open and also octagonal, while the onion dome crowns it. Anyone interested in architecture will find several specific design features here, rather than just a building described as a bell tower.
Visible remains of human dwellings have survived to this day at the former settlement site of Stará Stanoviště. These traces offer a different way to explore local history than the craft tradition or the bell tower: they point to earlier dwellings, while pottery and architectural design show other sides of the area’s past.
Pottery was historically Stanoviště’s most successful craft. Local deposits of high-quality potter’s clay helped foster the tradition; clay was also exported to surrounding areas. Pottery production died out around the middle of the 19th century. Taken together, the raw material, craft and timeline form a distinct cultural focus: the history of pottery is linked both to locally sourced clay and to the craft’s former importance.
Wetlands and nature
The Stanovišťské rybníčky comprise two ponds with lush wetland vegetation. The Stanovišťské rybníčky protected area lies within the cadastral territory of the municipality of Stanoviště. The green tree frog and pool frog are found there, along with more than 20 species of dragonflies and damselflies.
Another natural feature is the Stanovišťský mokřad wetland. It covers about one hectare and has waterlogged soils and wetland plants. The two nature areas have different defining features: the Stanovišťské rybníčky are notable for their two ponds, vegetation and animal species, while the Stanovišťský mokřad is defined by its approximate area, waterlogged soils and wetland plants. The area given provides an indication of the wetland’s extent, while the soil and plants describe its habitat.
