Siřejovice brings together two distinct historical landmarks: Saint Bartholomew’s Church stands on a small rise in the middle of the village green, while the ruins of Windsor lie southeast of the village on a gentle rise. Those looking for a holiday apartment for a culturally themed stay will find a clear focus here. Several building phases can be distinguished at the church; Windsor represents the transformation of a Dutch-type windmill into a country pleasure palace. This offers two different perspectives on the history of the village.
Saint Bartholomew’s Church and its building phases
Saint Bartholomew’s Church is documented from 1384. Its location on the village green helps place the building in the context of the village. The late-classical church building was added to the Gothic tower of the former sanctuary in 1846. The sanctuary is first mentioned in 1363. The three dates mark distinct stages and should not be conflated into a single foundation year: 1363 refers to the former sanctuary, 1384 to the documented reference to the church, and 1846 to the addition of the late-classical building to the tower. This distinction is revealing when considering the architecture: the Gothic tower and the later church building belong to different construction phases.
Windsor: from windmill to country pleasure palace
Windsor’s history centers on a different kind of transformation. The ruins lie southeast of Siřejovice on a gentle rise. Windsor began as a Dutch-type windmill, built near Lovosice in 1843. In the second half of the 19th century, the windmill was converted into a country pleasure palace. This change clearly distinguishes Windsor from the church: at Windsor, the focus is on its transformation; at the church, on the combination of a Gothic tower with a late-classical extension.
Events and cultural dates
Cultural and community events are also part of the local scene. The traditional Kácení máje is one of the events held in Siřejovice. In 2026, a festive procession through the municipality was planned for the occasion, due to start in front of the municipal office on 23 May at 2 p.m. Bartolomějské posvícení was scheduled for Saturday, 22 August 2026. Both dates refer specifically to 2026. If a particular festival is important to your travel plans, check the event dates for your intended visit.
Where to look for accommodation
For local orientation, road II/247 runs through Siřejovice from Lovosice to Libochovice. Parking is available directly at the church. These details relate to different things: the road’s route is through the village, while the parking information specifically refers to the church. When searching for a holiday apartment, you can narrow down the purpose of your trip: are you most interested in the church’s building phases, Windsor’s transformation from a mill into a country pleasure palace, or a cultural event date?
