7. Culturally Historical Wandering around Slaný

Slaný – Dolín – Beřovice – Zlonice – Bakov – Želvčice – Slaný

The track begins at the Information Centre in the Masarykovo náměstí Square (the former Piaristic College house, No. 159). From here, we will set off in the direction of the cemetery and the monastery with the Holy Trinity Church (we will go through the Velvarská Gate from the turn of the 13th century). We will walk along the Na Vinici Street to get to the vine-growers´and the fishermen´s column, and we will take the path to the left, uphill, or we will continue straight to the cross, from where we will also get to Dolín.

THE COLUMN OF THE VINE-MAKERS AND THE FISHERMEN FROM SLANÝ
It is a copy from the workshop of the academic sculptor Václav Nejtek. The column was originally placed by the wall of the cemetery in Ovčáry, near the St. Václav Chapel. Its model is exhibited in the Slaný Geographical Museum.

DOLÍN
The village was established by the Benedictines in Slaný around the year 1305. The first written remarks date back to 1325. The remark about the local Church of St. Simon and Juda with beautiful secession decorations is of the same date. Below the church, we will turn left, and we will get to Beřovice. On the way, we will pass an alcove chapel from the first half of the 19th century.

BEŘOVICE
The first preserved remarks about the village of Beřovice date back to 1348. In the village, there is a memorial of the folk writer Valerián Pejša, and the Lourdes Virgin Mary Church is situated in the village green. It is a Baroque building, octo-lateral with an eight-part cupola and a lantern. It was built in 1732. From Beřovice, we will get directly to Zlonice via the main road.

ZLONICE
The oldest primeval settlement of the Zlonice land register is proved by the archaeological discovery of a burial ground with bent skeletons of the Únětice culture. Zlonice were the royal property, and later the emperor Joseph I. promoted the village to a townlet. The Baroque Church of Assumption of the Virgin Mary is architecturally dominant in Zlonice, visible when entering Zlonice on the right hand side of the road. Besides the Assumption of the Virgin Mary Church, there are other Baroque sights in Zlonice. Antonín Dvořák´s Memorial, the former hospital, built at the expense of count Filip Josef Kinský in 1745. A part of the Antonín´s Memorial is also formed by an organist house known as "Varhaníkovna", which was festively open to public in 1984. New town hall was built in place of the old one from 1707 and the house No. 136 in the 1890s. In the years 1891-93, the builder Václav Faigl built a new primary school in Zlonice, and on the 16th September 1911, an additional building of the burgess school was completed. There also is a railway museum in the village, with the exhibits focusing on the period prior to 1939.

JEWISH CEMETERY IN ZLONICE
As the Jews could not live in Slaný, administered in the Middle Ages according to the Magdeburg Law, the first Jewish settlements around Slaný were found in Zlonice. According to the preserved reports, they settled here at the end of the 16th century, and the local Jewish Community was one of the oldest in Bohemia. The old Jewish cemetery remained here as a permanent memorial. From Zlonice, we will take the road leading back to Slaný, past the cemetery; we will pass the villages of Bakov and Želevčice. On the way, we will pass an old stone cross situated on the right hand side, built in 1858.

BAKOV
The first written remarks about the village date back to 1267. A square chapel with a belfry in the village green is an ecclesiastical monument, Baroque originally, modified in the 19th century.

Bakov Sgrafitti
At the Bakov estate grange, there were precious sgrafitti uncovered in 1900, probably from the 16th century. The sgrafitti probably presented about one meter high pictures of different animals, with floral ornaments in between, as well as different hunting and fishing scenes. The remains of the uncovered sgrafitti are still visible on the southern part of the former Bakov fortress.

ŽELEVČICE
The first written remarks about the village date back to 1227. The local fortress became extinct in the 17th century. The feudal house from the middle of the 18th century today serves the purposes of a private gallery. The grange ("špejchar") in the village green dates back to 1776, the chapel is from 1913.
