Výšinné neopevněné sídliště Velíz Housing estate

Welcome to the historical monument of the High Unfortified Veliz estate, which boasts its rich past and preserved character. You are standing at the top of the hill Velíz east of the small village Kublova. See where today's peaceful landscape beauty meets deep layers of history.

This settlement is known for its uniqueness as the unfortified settlement that stretches on the top of the hill. Here, without obvious walls and fortifications, people lived in prehistoric times even during the early Middle Ages. It's a place without significant architectural structures, but rich in history and culture.

Let's immerse ourselves in its origin and context. Although the specific names of the creators or settlers from prehistoric times are unknown, archaeological discoveries revealed the environment of these people. In primeval times, this place was a safe haven for residents who decided to colonize hilly land without the need for fortification. During the early Middle Ages, the settlement continued, suggesting the permanent value of this place for human life.

Notice the space around you and feel the atmosphere. Although specific architectural elements are not visible, the overall landscape composition speaks for itself. Imagine the lives of people who once went through these same fields and hills.

In 1958-1959, the first archaeological surveys were conducted by Dr. Blossom Reichert, who laid the foundations for understanding the history of this place. Her work continued in 1964-1967 and revealed traces of ancient settlers. These discoveries have provided valuable information about the environment and the way people have interacted with their landscape long ago.

The interesting thing about this place is its protection as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. This means that every piece of land and every artefact discovered is important for preserving the heritage of our ancestors.

Let's move on to more knowledge. This place is a great opportunity to explore how people lived in the past without the need for fortifications. Try a moment of peace and think about what this estate can tell us about our common history.

Allow me to invite you for further examination. It's interesting to see how archaeological discoveries and conservation of monuments help preserve stories of the past. Whether you look at the landscape around you or notice the details, every step is the way to history.
