Fara (Mcely) Parish house

Welcome to the historical memory of Mcely, where you are now in front of an important parish, whose beautiful lines and rich history await them to be discovered. This sacral building, which stands close to St. Wenceslas's Church, is an excellent example of the architectural changes and historical events that shaped this place. What do you see in front of you? The Mansard roof is covered with bobbies with windows'.

Let's go into history. This rectory has its roots in the sixteenth century, when it was built at a time when the local community sought a new home for its faith and traditions. Later, she witnessed a baroque reconstruction, which transformed her architecture fundamentally into the form we know today. In 1965, this building was officially recognized as a cultural monument and has since become not only a place of religious importance, but also a historical value for the whole area.

Look up on the roof. Mansard construction with beaver is a characteristic element that gives the building its distinctive identity. On the south side, notice the sandstone portal and the triple risotto with walled windows, which are details that contribute to its unique facade. The interior of the rectory offers wealth of architectural solutions: various types of vaults - cross, rolled and flat - which increase its aesthetic and structural value.

Although particular architects are not known, it is undoubtedly that this rectory is the work of many anonymous artists and craftsmen whose work has left a permanent print on the landscape of Mcely. Although specific historical figures are not directly connected to this building, it is clear that many generations of the local community have walked through its doors and shared their most important moments here.

The interesting thing about this monument is its ability to overcome the time period when it was built. Although they carry traces of six centuries, they remained alive and functional thanks to careful repairs such as the reconstruction of the facade carried out in 2000. This monument not only maintains its historical essence, but also serves as a local centre of spiritual life and culture.

Now that you've noticed its key elements, by inviting them to explore the surroundings. Think about the historical context in which this rectory evolved, and imagine the lives of the people who served or prayed here. It's a place full of stories and traditions that await discovery.
