Dva hraniční kameny Border stone
A pair of baroque border stones are located on the territory of the village Úterý in the district of Plzeň-sever, Plzeňský kraj. These monuments are protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic and date back to 1686. They marked the borders of the Tousamian estate, decorated with embossed emblem and crown. Their historical importance is that they testify to past territorial divisions and administrative structures.
They were placed as part of the administrative structure of the 17th century, namely in 1686, to identify borders and maintain order in land ownership. This type of monument is an important testimony about historical territorial changes and administrative practices.
Architecturally, the border stones are coloured with baroque elements, which is reflected in their relief decoration. The brand and crown on the fillings not only mark 1686, but also symbolize the estate whose borders these stone marks defined.
Despite their historical significance, the border stones have undergone several changes. Originally located in the territory of the Toussian estate. In 2015 there were major events: they were temporarily placed in Úterý at No. 179, but then returned to Bezeverův. This change in local location shows the dynamics of historical monuments and their adaptation to modern needs.
Today border stones in Úterý are protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. Their accessibility to the public allows visitors to appreciate their historical value and understand the importance of monuments as witnesses of the past. Exploring these stones is an opportunity for every quitter to become familiar with the history of the region and its administrative heritage.
