Našiměřice offers specific points of interest for a stay focused on architecture and local history, or cycling: the Church of St. Giles is a prominent part of the village’s cultural heritage, while Route I of the Znojemská vinařská stezka passes through Našiměřice. There is also a statue in the village square and traces of a former fortress. This gives you two distinct options to consider when planning your trip: historic buildings and local history, or the regional cycling route.

Church of St. Giles

The Church of St. Giles is a significant Gothic religious building dating from the second quarter of the 14th century. Its features include authentic surviving architectural elements. The church underwent extensive alterations in 1730: the sacristy was rebuilt and a spiral staircase to the bell tower was installed. Its building history thus encompasses both its medieval origins and a notable later renovation.

The church complex includes a cemetery, perimeter wall and gate. It is located in the southern part of Našiměřice. The cemetery next to the church has been in use from the Middle Ages to the present day. The church and cemetery therefore represent different aspects of the village’s history: the religious building and its architectural changes, and the long-standing use of the adjoining cemetery.

Statue, Village Center and Earlier Traces

In the village square, on a grassy area on its eastern side, stands a statue of St. John of Nepomuk. The religious sculpture is carved from shell limestone and dates from the mid-18th century. It is considered an important monument in the municipality and an example of high-quality South Moravian sculpture. Its location and material offer two specific points of comparison with the medieval church.

The medieval and early modern village center is also designated as an area with archaeological finds. Another historical trace is the Našiměřice fortress: it was probably built between 1236 and 1244 under Vlk of Našiměřice. The fortress itself has disappeared; only a faint remnant of its core relief, in the form of a small mound, remains. The dates therefore range from the probable 13th-century fortress to the 14th-century church and the statue from the mid-18th century.

Landscape and Cycling Route

Našiměřice lies in a hollow in the extensive, fertile Dyjskosvratecká Lowland, at an elevation of 217 meters above sea level. This setting describes the landscape around the village.

Route I of the Znojemská vinařská stezka passes through Našiměřice and is 47 kilometers long in the Znojmo region. The main route, Route I, runs mostly through flat and hilly terrain and uses second- and third-class roads as well as field paths. This gives you information about both the specific cultural monuments and a named cycling route, including its length, terrain and types of path, to help with your travel plans. If you plan to ride the route, check the conditions before setting off.

When choosing Našiměřice as a destination, you can decide whether you are mainly interested in its architectural and local history or the Znojemská vinařská stezka. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can use these themes as a starting point for planning your trip.
