Pavlovice: Mill, Chapel and Wildlife Care

When looking for a hotel in Pavlovice, start with what makes the place distinctive: the mill on the Blanice, a chapel among the local sights, and the history of the Vlašim estate. The ČSOP Vlašim Wildlife Rescue Station also brings a nature and animal-protection aspect. Its treatment area is just before the start of Pavlovice when driving from Vlašim towards the D1. These different points of interest can help you decide whether Pavlovice suits your interests as a travel destination.

Mill, Stream and Blanice

The Blanický Mill, also known as Kupsův mlýn or mlýn U Šípanů, is located in Pavlovice u Vlašimi on the Blanice River. It stands on the edge of Pavlovice’s cadastral area and is a large riverside mill; the building is partly in ruins. The Pavlovický potok flows through Pavlovice and joins the Blanice at the mill. This brings together two connections to the water: the stream runs through the village, while the mill is on the Blanice. The different names refer to the same building, so you can identify the mill even if you come across another of its names.

The mill is open to visitors by prior arrangement. It is also used as a base for summer children’s camps run by the STROM association. So arrange your visit in advance rather than assuming you can drop in spontaneously.

Chapel and the History of the Estate

The chapel is among the local sights. From 1442 to 1848, Pavlovice belonged to the Vlašim estate. This places a specific local sight alongside a clearly defined historical connection: the chapel draws attention to a feature of the village, while the dates mark its former affiliation with Vlašim. These are distinct points of reference for understanding the area’s cultural history, but both relate to the same place.

Wildlife Care and Directions

The ČSOP Vlašim Wildlife Rescue Station cares for injured, disabled and orphaned wild animals. Its work also includes environmental education, instruction and public outreach. Its work therefore covers both direct animal care and educational and informational activities. The treatment area is just before the start of Pavlovice when driving from Vlašim towards the D1. The direction of travel helps you locate this area on your way there. Here, wildlife care is a nature-related point of interest alongside the watercourse and the mill’s history.

Road II/125 runs through Pavlovice along the Kolín–Kácov–Pavlovice–Vlašim–Mladá Vožice route. This sequence gives you a specific reference point for locating the village on the named road connection. When choosing a hotel for Pavlovice, you can first consider whether the village and its historical and nature-related themes suit your stay. The route helps with orientation, while the mill, chapel, estate history and wildlife care offer different points of interest to inform your choice of destination.
