Křečhoř - Obecní Úřad

We visited this year's celebration of the 2017 battle at Kolín. Great enthusiasm. Everything well prepared. The official part is brief. Battle perfectly commented. Snacks a lot of stalls. Maybe I'd add a few benches from the gym. There were not enough seats.

Well, I call it a very interesting story! The first mention of the village is from 1200, when the Sedlec monastery bought polnosti from the royal court in Křečhoř. In 1295, King Wenceslas II. he forgave the Cistercians certain payments from Křečhor. In 1310, Jan Lucemburský donated the village to the Supreme Marshal Jindřich of Lipá, but in 1319 Eliška Rejčka bought it back and donated it to the St. Vitus Chapter at Prague Castle. The village was owned by the Prague Chapter until 1436, when Emperor Sigismund donated it to Sigismund of Smilovice, from whom the town of Kolín bought it and annexed it permanently to his estates, where Křečhoř remained until 1848. What a name, a piece of our history. Who would have thought of a quiet and unobtrusive village with about five hundred inhabitants today. Now, that's a very interesting history! The first mention of the village dates back to the year 1200, when the Sedlec monastery bought fields from the royal court in Křečhoř. In 1295, King Wenceslas II forgave the Cistercians for certain payments from Křečhoř. In 1310 John of Luxembourg gave the village to the High Marshal Henry of Lipá, but in 1319 Eliška Rejčka bought it back and gave it to the St. Vitus Chapter at Prague Castle. The village was in the possession of the Prague Chapter until 1436, when Emperor Sigismund gave it to Sigismund of Smilovice, from whom the town of Kolín bought it and permanently added it to its estates, where it was until 1848. What a name is a piece of Czech history. Who would have guessed it about a quiet and unassuming village, where around five hundred inhabitants live today.
