Kublov Church Monuments
Sacred hill (595 metres above the sea level), a place worshiped in many religions, is probably named after pagan god Veles.
A large hillfort, mentioned in the chronicles around 1003 used to be here, but the place had been settled in prehistory.
According to a folk tale Prince Jaromír of the Premyslids was seized and tortured here. To commemorate his escape from the Vršovec family he had the Chapel of St. John the Babtist built there. The chapel was later converted into a romanesque church of the same name and a Provostship. The place was plundered by the Hussites. The church was rebuilt in the Baroque style around year 1740.
This mythical hill was an important symbol during the Czech National Revival and was often a motif for various works of art.
A grave of a famous Czech composer Josef Leopold Zvonař is located in the local graveyard. Coordinates: 49.9461997, 13.8878247
