Discover Dambořice: Culture, Winegrowing and Cycling Routes

Dambořice brings together several distinct themes to help you plan your trip: late Baroque architectural history, Jewish heritage, winegrowing and named cycling routes. If you are looking for a hotel in Dambořice, these local connections can help you assess the destination according to your interests. The historic sites and annual folklore tradition offer a different focus from the routes that pass through the town.

Church and Jewish Heritage

The present-day Roman Catholic Church of St Martin of Tours is a late Baroque building dating from the second half of the 18th century. Its main nave was built around 1780. The church is a state-protected cultural monument. It therefore offers a specific connection to the town’s architectural history, with both the general construction period and the approximate date when the main nave was built being relevant.

The Jewish cemetery in Dambořice is also state-protected. It is located behind the Catholic cemetery and was probably established around the turn of the 17th century. This dating is explicitly an approximate, probable timeframe. The church and cemetery thus represent different historical reference points: a late Baroque religious building on the one hand, and an older cemetery with Jewish history on the other.

Another point of interest is the Dambořice Municipal Museum, housed in the municipal office building. Occasional exhibitions are held there. If a particular exhibition is a key reason for your trip, check in advance whether a date has been scheduled. The new village square adds a memorial to the former synagogue of the Jewish community to the town’s history. Its features also include pavilions, a fountain and a park. When exploring Jewish heritage, you can therefore consider both the cemetery and the memorial on the village square as distinct subjects.

Folklore and Annual Planning

The Martinské hody is an annual three-day tradition in Dambořice. It is always celebrated on the first Sunday after the feast day of the parish patron, St Martin of Tours, on November 11. The tradition includes four Stárci and four Stárky in Dambořice folk costumes, as well as a cellar master. These details give the custom a clear timeframe and identify its participants, without assuming a specific event date for any given travel year. If you would like to visit Dambořice for the Martinské hody, check the dates for the year you plan to travel.

Cycling Routes, Winegrowing and Getting Around

Cycle Route No. 5095 passes through Dambořice, Uhřice, Silničná and Zdravá Voda; in Zdravá Voda, it reconnects with Route No. 473. The Kyjov Wine Trail also passes through Dambořice. The two routes offer different points of reference for planning your trip: Route No. 5095 names several places and its connection with another route, while the wine trail links the area to the Kyjov theme. The route names alone do not indicate a specific length of stay.

Dambořice is a winegrowing municipality with dozens of wine cellars and is part of the Kyjov wine-growing region. Historical points of interest include surviving fragments of so-called Habán wine cellars from the 16th century. The Habán wine cellars are privately owned. This distinction separates the general winegrowing theme from the historic cellar fragments while also noting their ownership status.

State Class II Road No. 381, which runs through Dambořice, is also relevant for finding your way when travelling there. Check the current route before setting off. This will help you decide which local highlights—architectural history, Jewish heritage, folklore, winegrowing or cycling routes—matter most for your trip.
