9. Culturally Historical Wandering around Slaný

Slaný – Byseň – Lotouš – Neprobylice – Kutrovice – Kvílice – Třebíz – Hořešovice – Hořešovičky – Zichovec – Žerotín – Panenský Týnec

The track begins at the Information Centre in the Masarykovo náměstí Square (the former Piaristic College house, No. 159, interesting building of the old town hall, No. 3). From here, we will set off along Husova Street and Václava Beneše Třebízského Street, leaving the town of Slaný. From Slaný, we may use road No. 16 (direction Řevničov), from which we will turn right onto the road No. 23638 leading to Byseň.

BYSEŇ
Ancient settlements around Byseň are confirmed by archaeological findings in the village, in the direction of Lotouš. The first written remarks date the village back to 1316. The only historical monument in the village is represented by a chapel from 1860. The efforts to preserve the remains of the medieval fortress were unsuccessful.

LOTOUŠ – Písek
United villages, the historically older of which is Lotouš. In the village´s land register, a burial ground was discovered with bent skeletons of the Únětice type. The first written remarks about the village date back to 1227-28. The village of Lotouš belonged to the town of Slaný, from which it was confiscated in 1547, returned in 1562, and confiscated again after the White Hill Battle (1623), when it became the property of the Martinic family from Smečno, together with the entire dominion. The taxation roll from 1654 mentions four estates here, and they still formed the base of the village in the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, there were three more houses mentioned here, and a Holy Trinity Chapel dated to the middle of the 19th century. In the settlement named Písek by the state road, the most significant was the building of the coaching inn. A hamlet named Libuš reminds of mining; the Libuš and Arnošt mines nearby belonged to the Beyer coal district at the St. Ján near Libovice.

NEPROBYLICE
The first written remarks document this village in 1316. From 1397 on, the village was divided to an upper and a lower part. In the upper part, a fortress named Hrádek was built. The lower part lapsed to Vaněk of Hřivice, who built the second fortress here. At the end of the 16th century, the village was united again after the long years. Václav Pětipeský had the Hrádek fortress rebuilt in a Renaissance style during 1587-8, and he left the lower fortress abandoned. Church of the Holy Spirit from 1741, Baroque originally, was modified in the 19th century. There is a belfry in the village green, rebuilt in 1896 in place of an older, Renaissance belfry. There are two tomb stones in the belfry walls, transferred from the demolished church. The first one contains a figure of a knight Václav Pětipeský of Chýš and Egeberk, who died on the 7th March 1602; the second presents a purposefully truncated figure of a woman, and belongs to Mandeléna of Adlar († 1604), the wife of Odolán Pětipeský the older. The third tomb stone, destroyed in the 19th century, belonged to Alžběta Vojkovská of Milhostice († 1610). There are three bells in the belfry. The cross in front of the belfry is from the 19th century. There are two linden trees by the belfry – dedicated to Masaryk and Beneš. The cellars and the remains of walls of Hrádek today form the foundations of a ruin of the former grange and later a shed of the Martinic and Clam Martinic family. There are two sandstone boards embedded in the southern part of the former fortress, with emblems of Václav Pětipeský and his wife Ižalda (Alžběta) Vojkovská of Milhostice, and the third board underneath bears an inscription saying that knight Václav Pětipeský rebuilt the fortress at his own expense. The sundial on the wall of the former shed was restored in 1926, according to the inscription.

KUTROVICE
The settlement of the present village in the primeval ages is proved by archaeological findings of vessels belonging to the Bylany Culture, discovered in 1900 in the local brick plant. The first written remarks about the village date back to 1366. There is a nice restored chapel in the village; the local cross presents a minor monument.

KVÍLICE
The village is first mentioned in 1211. The ancient St. Vitus Church (built around 1366) burnt down in 1884, and it was rebuilt in 1886-87 according to the plans of R. Štech. Wooden belfry near the church is from the 16th century, adapted in 1663. The building of the vicarage in Kvílice is from 1882. In the old Kvílice school, Václav Beneš Třebízský was one of the pupils, and his parents are buried at the local cemetery. V. Beneš Třebízský mentions the village in a number of his short stories. There is an ancient mill in the village, with an interesting well, combined with a pigeon-hole and a statue of St. John of Nepomuk.

TŘEBÍZ
The historical beginnings of the village and the local fortress are not documented in writing. The Slaný Ethnological Museum in Třebíz is dedicated to the folk culture of the local area. It is a demonstration of the folk building development and of the way of living, agricultural farming, and the village life in general.
House No. 1 is the most significant, the estate called "Cífkův statek", the seat of the reeve with a right to run a tap-room, with a grange, a cellar, stables, and other farm buildings. House No. 4 has an interior of a little village shop, little cottages No. 62 and 64, originally the rent-charges of the estates, and No. 10 and 11, former cottars´ houses, equipped correspondingly to the turn of the 19th and the 20th century. House No. 10 shelters a half-timbered, rammed earth barn in the garder, documenting the construction style of the end of the 17th and of the 18th century.
St. Martin´s Baroque Chapel in the village green dates back to the half of the 18th century.
The house where the priest and the writer Václav Beneš Třebízský was born (No. 19) is a permanent exposition documenting his life and works.
Above the village, there are sandstone rocks with caved cellars and a Piety embossment from an unknown folk artist. On the rock, there is a monument dedicated to Václav Beneš Třebízský on the 14th August 1892. The authors were František Hergessel and František Procházka.

HOŘEŠOVICE
The village of Hořešovice has first been mentioned already in 1227.
The first remarks mentioning the local vicarage date back to 1352. Besides the local petty nobility, also the Lords of Žerotín, Toužetín, and Neprobylice were among the patrons of the St. Peter and Paul Church in Hořešovice. The church is situated in place of the original chapel; there is a Gothic presbytery of the existing church where the chapel used to be. The church was first documented in 1321. Nearby the church, there is a wooden belfry on a stone base, of a Renaissance architecture originally. The statue of St. John of Nepomuk in the village green is dated 1863.

HOŘEŠOVIČKY
The first remarks about Hořešovičky date back to 1390, in connection with the local ruler Racek of Hořešovice the Small. The baroque chapel of St. Martin, with the emblem of the Kinský family above the entrance, dates to the second half of the 18th century.

ZICHOVEC
Zichovec is the last village in the Slaný perimeter. The first remarks about the village date back to 1407. We can only speculate about further destiny of the village. In the 16th century, part of it belonged to Srbeč, the other part for a short term belonged to the Peruc dominion. After the Thirty Years´ War, one part of the village belonged to the Vraný dominion of Jan Zdeněk Vratislav of Mitrovice, and the second part belonged to the Valkoun family of Adlar in Zlonice. In the first half of the 18th century, the entire village belonged to the Ditrichstein dominion Budyně. The chapel in the village dates back to 1895.

ŽEROTÍN
The Žerotín castle, with a village of the same name below, was built around the beginning of the 13th century. The castle was probably built by Habart of Hořovice (1229), the burgrave at Přimda. During the Swedes´ invasion in the Thirty Years´ War, the castle was conquered and plundered, and it was never restored later on. Today, there are only two columns of the original walls remaining of the castle, and part of the cellarage. Also the water moats are well visible. The St. Blažej Church was built in 1800. The pseudo-Romanic chapel in the village is from 1900.

PANENSKÝ TÝNEC
The name "Týnec" derives from the word Týn, or the old-Celtic "Taun" and means an enclosed area, fortified by stakes. "Panenský" – derives from the Virgins Clarissas of the Franciscan Order. The first written remarks about Týnec are from 1115, and then it is mentioned in 1186 as a village. A deed from 1321 speaks of a townlet. Before 1280, Habart of Žerotín built a monastery in Týnec, and brought the Clarissas of the Agnes Monastery in Prague here. Around 1320, construction of a magnificent monastery church began, which, however, could not be finished, due to fire in 1382, and than due to the outbreak of the Hussites wars. In 1420, the Hussites burnt the monastery out. The Žerotíns, however, renewed the monastery, and the Clarissas returned there (to dwell here for the next 220 years). In the monastery Holy Trinity Chapel, there was the Žerotín family tomb, and the tombs of the abbesses. There are no preserved documents about its extinction, but it is likely that after the fire in 1722, the monastery was never repaired, and it was gradually demolished.
In 1548, the monastery convent was rebuilt (completed) in a Renaissance style by abbess Anne of Litoměřice (the inscription "AZL 1548" above the monastery entrance). After the Battle of the White Hill, the Clarissas from Týnec returned to the renewed monastery in Prague, and they only used the monastery in Týnec as a summer seat, and as an administrative centre of the local farm. The purely Czech monastery was abolished during the Joseph´s reforms in 1782.
In 1797, the Panenský Týnec dominion was bought by a burgess Jan Tuscany, and his family kept Týnec until 1854. The Tuscany family first dwelled in the monastery, which they perceived as insufficiently spectacular. Therefore, they built a small castle in the northern part of the court, around 1842. Later on, MUDr. A. Maixner (T. G. Masaryk´s doctor) wanted to have this castle rebuilt to serve the purposes of water spa. He did not succeed, nevertheless, and the castle was pulled down after 1948. The Tuscanys established new cemetery (outside the village), where they built a Classicist Empire tomb in 1800.
In 1856, Týnec was bought by Vojtěch Renner of Prague. During his administration of the dominion, Mrs. Pavlína Kašparová built a steam-engine brewery, where beer was brewed for almost fifty years. That was the time of the greatest progress of Panenský Týnec.
In 1872, Panenský Týnec was bought by countess Terezie of Herberstein, she annexed the Týnec dominion to the original Žerotín dominion after 512 years, and she remained the owner until 1945.
The one-storey building of the monastery, orginally built for St. Agnes of Bohemia, was built as a three-isle. Today, the remains of the later Renaissance reconstructions are preserved here. In the northern wing, there was the entrance to the monastery with a semi-circle portal from 1548. Adjacent to the monastery, there are the ruins of the monastery church. The entrance to the monumental fragment of a Gothical temple is an entering richly decorated portal. A Gothic belfry was built on the platform of the three-isle temple in 1722.
Church of St. George was rebuilt to get the appearance of the original chapel (from 1318 – established by Plichta of Žerotín as a remembrance of being knighted at the State´s Council in České Budějovice on the 23rd April 1318) after 1722, and it was repaired in 1904. There is a tower clock with a daily manual wind-up system on the church. A Baroque chapel of St. John of Nepomuk is from the first half of the 19th century, and in 1999 it was rebuilt and consecrated again. The tomb of Jan Tuscany – a Classicist Empire tomb from 1800 dominates the new cemetery. By the cemetery´s northern wall, there is a tomb of Benedikt Orezl, a traveller, inventor, and discoverer of large number of orchids. (Roezl´s statue is at the Karlovo náměstí Square in Prague).
The torso of the non-finished monasterial Gothic church in Panenský Týnes is at present very much sought for as a source of positive and healing energy which it emanates.
