Nové Sedlo U Žatce offers two distinct starting points for planning a trip: the marked cycling route and the village’s history, with several monuments. The village is 5.5 kilometres from Žatec, on a saddle-shaped slope. The present-day Ohře is about 1.5 kilometres from Nové Sedlo; its old riverbed is still visible near the village. The approximate distance refers to the present-day river, while the old riverbed provides a separate landscape feature. Keeping these two details distinct helps you pinpoint the village’s location more precisely.

Cycling Route and Landscape

The marked Cyklo_15 cycling route runs from the Ohře through Číňov, Břežany, Nové Sedlo, Žabokliky, Selibice, Větrušice and Čeradice to Žatec. In this order, Nové Sedlo lies between Břežany and Žabokliky and is clearly located along the route. If cycling is part of your travel plans, this gives you a specific connection to the village to work with. Route details may change, so check the current route before setting out.

Church and Monuments

The Church of the Most Holy Trinity and Saint Wenceslas stands south of the centre, at the edge of a slope. It was built in Nové Sedlo between 1735 and 1737 and has been preserved in its original, stylistically intact condition. Its considerable cultural and historical value makes it an important reference point for the village’s history.

A Baroque column of the Most Holy Trinity, dating from 1730, stands right beside the church. Its date is five years before construction of the church began. The sculptural group of the Most Holy Trinity in Nové Sedlo is also an immovable cultural monument. The column and sculptural group are separate monuments in addition to the church building, allowing you to distinguish between different forms of the local cultural heritage.

Nové Sedlo Château

The Nové Sedlo Château represents a considerably later building phase. It was built between 1898 and 1901 in the Neo-Renaissance style, with an adjoining park. The term Neo-Renaissance refers to a later revival of Renaissance forms and distinguishes the château’s style from that of the older column. The château is deteriorating and is not accessible. Keep this restriction in mind when planning: include it as part of the architectural history, not as a visitor attraction you can access.

The time span between the religious monuments of the 18th century and the château built at the turn of the 20th century gives the village’s history a clear chronological range. The church, column and château thus belong to distinctly different building periods.

Two themes can guide your travel plans: Cyklo_15 as a specific cycling connection, and the church, column and sculptural group as historical points of interest. The château adds a later building phase to this picture, but because it is inaccessible, it must be considered differently from the other cultural sites mentioned.
