Church and Local History
The Church of St. Anne is a Neo-Romanesque landmark in Jiřice u Miroslavi. The present-day church was built in 1903; as a parish church, it is registered as an immovable cultural monument. The Boží muka (wayside shrine) has a different architectural form: this small, three-sided masonry religious monument stands among trees. The local cultural heritage thus includes both a church building and a small religious monument.
The fortress in Jiřice u Miroslavi was first mentioned in 1609. Sometime between 1750 and 1760, it was converted into a single-storey Baroque château. The château, which has been significantly altered, is now used for cultural purposes. If you would like to visit, check local access arrangements in advance. The dates given distinguish between the fortress’s first mention and its later conversion; they describe different stages in the area’s history.
New Jewish Cemetery
The New Jewish Cemetery has 130 surviving gravestones. It lies southeast of the disused German cemetery, on the road to Troskotovice. Its location and surviving gravestones make it a specific site of Jewish cultural heritage in Jiřice u Miroslavi. The cemetery is freely accessible; check local access arrangements before your trip.
Winegrowing and Event Dates
