fara v Třešti Parish house
Fara in Třestí is a late Baroque parish building founded in 1771 and is located in the village Třešť. Its area consists of a rectory, chaplain and economic buildings. Since 3 May 1958 it has been protected as a cultural monument. The first written mention of the existence of the rectory dates back to 1349, suggesting its long history.
The first mention of the vicar at the church of St. Martin in Třeště appeared in the middle of the 14th century when the village was a centre of the Vladic farmhouse including the parish village Třešť and the village Buková and Jejdovice. The Brno Earth Plate presents a gift for the parish church, which confirms the existence of the rectory at that time. Some sources indicate the farm core from 1615. Over the years, the parish has become a place of spiritual and social life of the population.
In the second half of the 16th century, the rectory served the Lutheran Church, but after the Battle of White Mountain and the subsequent reCatholisation in 1620, its original functions ceased. Restoration of the rectory as Catholic occurred in 1645 when it began to redevelop its spiritual role in society. In 1645-1647, Colonel Oesterling's Swedish troops plundered the parish area, affecting the further development of the site.
During the 18th century the parish area was developed. In 1771 a chaplain and an object called a kaféhaus was built at the expense of the village, which shows an increased need for social space for the local population. In 1813 the cemetery at St. Martin's church was abolished and the remains were transferred to a new skeleton above the church, which led to further changes around the parish.
The fire in 1831 had a significant impact on the construction form of the rectory. The reconstruction of the main building, chaplains and stables followed, indicating the adaptability and endurance of this monument over time. In 1837 a new parish barn was built, which further expanded the economic background.
Fara is a protected cultural monument today and is an interesting historical object for local and visitors. Its long-term existence and adaptation to new conditions demonstrate the importance it had for the population of the Třešť region. Visiting this parish offers an opportunity to become acquainted with the rich history and architectural changes that have taken place in this place for centuries. It is a place where you can feel the connection between the past and the present, which makes the visit not only interesting but also educational.

Welcome to Trestle! You are now standing in front of one of the most important historical monuments of our region - the vicarage of Třešt. Look up and you will see the elegant facade of this late Baroque parish, which was built in 1771. It's a place full of history and beauty where every stone detail has a story.
We'll start with the first written references to the existence of the rectory dating back to 1349. This shows us the long history of this site and its importance for the inhabitants of Třešť. In 1771, the Chaplain and the so-called "kaféhaus" were built, which was an important extension of the parish grounds. We assumed that architects were not known, but their work here speaks for itself.
Take a closer look at the facade and you will see fine baroque elements that give the building a wonderful look. Note also the chaplain, which is part of the whole area. Its location and design are a reminder of when the rectory was built.
The parish has a rich history, including tragic events. In 1645-1647, Colonel Oesterling's Swedish troops plundered the parish area. This story bears witness to the difficult times that the population experienced at the time.
Another interesting thing is the fire in 1831, which had a major impact on the parish area. Despite this misfortune, the rectory has managed to recover, and today stands as a testament to resilience and history.
Since 3 May 1958, the parish area has been protected as a cultural monument, making it not only local but also national. This means that every detail of this building is carefully stored and respected.
Let's move on to another part of the area - economic background. Notice how these buildings are built to meet the needs of the priest and his family.
Now pay attention to the details on the facade. An interesting element is that in 1813 the cemetery at St. Martin's church was abolished. This affected not only the parish area, but the whole area.
The Fara in Třeště bears traces of many generations and it is a place where history is projected into the present. Its architecture and history are a reminder of the region's rich past.
Allow me to invite you to explore this fascinating place again. Every stone has its history and every detail tells its story. I hope you enjoy your walks in Třeště and especially the rectory, which is not only a monument but also a living heritage of our society.
Thank you for your visit, and I hope you enjoyed your stay. When we meet again, or another place full of history and beauty!
Tips for visitors
The best time to visit is the spring and autumn months, when the weather is welcoming and the surrounding greenery give the late Baroque facade of the rectory from 1771 a beautiful contrast. All you have to do is come in daylight, ideally on a bright day, so that architectural details and the structure of the complex are well visible, which includes a chaplain and economic buildings.
When planning a trip, please note that this is a cultural monument protected since 1958, which means that the building is under supervision and its appearance is maintained. For comfortable outdoor inspections, wear fixed shoes because there may be grassy areas or paved roads around the rectory. We recommend taking water and a light snack with us if you plan to take a longer walk around the premises, and possibly an umbrella if the forecast promises variable weather.
For photographers this location is a great object thanks to its historical value and the late Baroque style. The best light for shooting the facade occurs in the morning or late afternoon hours, when the sun falls at an angle and highlights the texture of plaster and shadow parts. Take pictures not only of the main rectory, but also of the chaplains and economic facilities that form part of the protected area and illustrate the overall impression of the parish court.
Since it is a monument in the village Třešť, accessibility by car and public transport is usually smooth. We recommend checking current connections and routes in the search engine or local information portals.
Children may notice the difference between modern houses and an old parish building, which may be an interesting educational moment. Since it is not possible to enter, it is important to ensure that children do not climb the wall or bother potential residents if it is an actively used building. A short walk around the premises is safe and undemanding.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring: In the spring, life wakes up around the rectory in Třeršt. The gardens in the area are starting to dye and the air smells fresh. The light is fine at this time and does not shine, which is ideal for observing the details of the construction. We recommend wearing layered clothes because the wounds can still be cold while the afternoon will be pleasant. The best is to come soon after sunrise when everything is green and quiet.
Summer: In the summer months the facade of the rectory shines in the bright sun and the colors are very rich. The shadows of trees around the house offer a pleasant shelter from the heat. It's good to wear light and breathable clothes and not forget the headgear. For best experiences, choose the time around the morning clock or late afternoon when the temperature is lower and light creates interesting shapes on the walls.
Autumn: Autumn brings the colors of gold and brown to Tremor. Leaves on trees around the house create beautiful sets and morning fog gives the place a mysterious atmosphere. The sun is low, which highlights the structure of the walls. Prepare a waterproof jacket and firmer shoes in case of wet surfaces. The ideal is a visit in the afternoon, when the sun's rays best shine through the colored trees.
Winter: The winter season offers a peaceful and quiet landscape, especially if everything is covered with snow. The building is very majestic in the freezing air and contrasts with the white color of the surrounding area. Days are short, so plan to visit around noon when the most light is. The need is very warm and warm clothes, including quality shoes, so that the cold does not freeze you.
