Skuteč
|
The city Skuteč is found in the district Chrudim in the Pardubice region. The city is known for its shoe-making tradition and high quality skutecska granite. The city has a rich cultural tradition and many interesting personalities lived in it. Václav Jan Tomášek was born here, a significant musical composer and pedagogue of the pre-Smetana era. HistoryA significant part of Skuteč was inhabited already in the early stone ages. The first written reference to Skuteč dates back to 1289. The old Skuteč settlement stood on the closest merchant’s route, leading from Chrudim to the Trstenicka Route. The village was promoted to a town most probably in the first half of the 14th century. Skuteč suffered pillaging in the Thirty Years War by both the Swedish and imperial troops. In 1862, a fire scorched the entire eastern part of the square and today’s Heydukova Street. In 1867, the western side and adjacent parts of the square burnt down completely. In the past, Skuteč ranked among the larger cities in the region. The most significant monumentsThe Skuteč Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary belongs among the most significant Gothic buildings in the region. |
The City Museum is housed in the building, which used to belong to the family of the wife of the musical composer Vítězslav Novák, who passed away here in 1949. It is definitely worth visiting the Memorial Hall of Václav Jan Tomášek, which is found in his native house. LegendFarmer Jantal of Štěpánov dug up a pot of money on the field. The Lord of Rychmburk Castle confiscated the money, however, the money, hidden in a chamber, spilt over on its own. So the Lord wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. Therefore, he loaded the money onto a cart but the horses couldn’t budge the cart. There was no other choice but to call Jantal, who was able to transport the money on his cart without any problems. He donated Štěpánov a large bell from his wealth, which calls out “Jantal dug me up” when it rings. Sources used: http://cs.wikipedia.org, http://www.skutec.cz |
