Local History of Brodeslavy

Brodeslavy was first mentioned in 1144. Until the beginning of the Hussite Wars in 1419, the village belonged to the Cistercian monastery of Plasy. In 1559, Brodeslavy became part of the Kaceřov estate, which belonged to the influential Florián Gryspek. These dates mark different historical milestones: the first mention, the end of the village’s association with Plasy, and its inclusion in the Kaceřov estate in 1559. The timeline thus stretches from the first mention to belonging to an estate in the 16th century, providing a historical framework for the village.

Chapel and Cemetery

A rectangular chapel dating from 1877, with two small turrets, stands in the village center. Its shape, year of construction, and turrets offer tangible points of reference for exploring local architectural history. The cemetery lies outside the village, along the road toward Bohy. It is well maintained and in use. The chapel and cemetery therefore differ both in location and function: the chapel stands in the center, while the cemetery in use lies outside the village.

Nature Park and Water in the Village

The cadastral area of Brodeslavy belongs to Berounka Nature Park. The park protects the landscape character of the deeply incised Berounka Valley and its tributaries, as well as rock outcrops, adjacent woodland, and agricultural land. The protected landscape character therefore encompasses more than the valley: rocks, woodland, and agricultural areas are also included. This means Brodeslavy can also be viewed in the context of the wider landscape of the nature park.

A small pond lies in the village center. The Brodeslavský potok stream also flows through Brodeslavy. The two water features have different spatial contexts: the pond is located at a specific point in the center, while the stream runs through the village. Together, they represent a centrally located feature and a watercourse that passes through the village.

Cycling Route and Orientation

The local Kralovice III cycling route passes through the municipal area of Brodeslavy. Check the current signage and route status before setting out. For planning purposes, it helps to distinguish between the different areas: the route passes through the municipal area, the chapel and pond are in the village center, the cemetery lies outside the village, and the cadastral area belongs to Berounka Nature Park.
