Keblice offers two themes to consider when planning your trip: rural Baroque architecture and the landscape around Humenský vrch. Buildings, memorials, and route connections give you specific points of reference to help decide whether you are more interested in local history, hiking, or cycling.

Landscape, Hiking, and Cycling

Keblice lies in the western part of the Terezín Basin. Humenský vrch rises above the village, reaching 246 meters. The basalt hill offers views of the Central Bohemian Uplands, as well as Lovosice and Litoměřice. Vegetation and visibility can vary depending on the season, which is worth bearing in mind when planning a viewpoint visit.

The southern and southwestern areas of Keblice around Humenský vrch are suitable for short hikes. Planning designations and conditions may change, so check the current situation before setting out.

A cycling route runs from Bohušovice nad Ohří through Keblice to Siřejovice, then in the direction of Rochov. Check road and route conditions before setting out. This offers different options for planning your trip: a hiking break around Humenský vrch and a cycling route with a named sequence of places.

Baroque Farmsteads and Village Layout

The rural farmstead at Keblice No. 7 consists of two Late Baroque houses and a matching gate. Its layout reflects the Baroque strip-field pattern of the village; the buildings exemplify the farming architecture of the village’s wealthiest social class. Branka I at house No. 7 is a Late Baroque, semicircular pedestrian gate with a mascaron. The strip-field pattern shifts the focus from an individual building to its connection with the village layout.

The farmstead at Keblice No. 57 has a different layout: it is a Late Baroque rural farm complex with an enclosed courtyard and a masonry gate. The two farmsteads therefore have different distinguishing features: No. 7 includes two houses and reflects the strip-field pattern, while No. 57 is defined by its enclosed courtyard and masonry gate.

Church and Memorials

St. Wenceslas Church stands in the village square. Its architectural style is Neo-Gothic, while its interior features Rococo furnishings from the mid-18th century. The building’s style and furnishings offer two distinct architectural points of reference: its Neo-Gothic design can be contrasted with the Rococo furnishings in terms of both period and style.

A memorial to the victims of the First World War, dated 1926, stands near the church. The equestrian statue of a Red Army soldier in Keblice dates from 1960. The two works have different focuses: the memorial is dedicated to the victims of the First World War, while the statue depicts a Red Army soldier.

Historical Connection Beyond Keblice

The Windsor ruins lie near Vrbičany and are popularly known as Větrák. The site was a Dutch-type windmill that met the needs of the surrounding communities of Siřejovice, Vrbičany, and Keblice until 1870. While the farmsteads offer insights into Keblice’s rural architecture, the mill points to an earlier supply network that served several communities.

The condition of the ruins and public access may change. Check the current visiting conditions if you are planning a visit.
