For kids
Imagine going back 1808 years, until the Czech Republic was still young and the agricultural community Dubí was a small town. At that time, there was a beautiful church, dedicated to Saint Jachy. And it is this church today that is our historical monument - the torture of God from 1708.
It was like in a game where heroes gathered around the fire and talked about their adventures. There were also people living here at the time who cared for their crops and pastures. They lived quietly in harmony with nature and the church. And then there was a church that was their home.
