Article Visit of Sobotka

Namesti Miru is the center of Sobotka and there is a fountain and baroque memorial pole. It is surrounded on three sides by nice houses with arcades. Unfortunately, it also serves as a parking place and road junction, so there's also busy traffic.

Just a bit further is Male namesti (“Small Square”), whose name is really apt. There is an interesting presbytery building.

Except for the castle Humprecht lying nearby is the biggest landmark of Sobotka interesting Church of St. Mary Magdalene situated just off Namesti Miru.

Perhaps the most interesting part of this small town is the western part with a lot of very nice timbered houses. Humprecht in the background is the inseparable part of almost every view.

It is best to start the trip around the interesting wooden buildings in Sobotka at the southwest corner of Namesti Miru, where is located the last timbered town house at this square. From here set out to the west direction along Novomestska street.

Vrana´s house belongs among the most beautiful cottages in Sobotka.

It is also worthwhile to turn into side streets from the green tourist trail leading along Novomestska street and see the local small and very picturesque cottages.

House at St. Anna has different architecture compared to other timbered buildings.

A little further east from the center of Sobotka is another jewel of folk architecture – Šolcův statek

Of course, you should also visit castle Humprecht.
