Hředle: Holiday Apartments and Houses
Accommodation in Hředle
Culture and Local History
In the center of Hředle stands the Church of All Saints. Construction began in 1758; it was completed 15 years later and replaced an older wooden church. The church is built of roughly hewn sandstone blocks with a narrow intermediate layer of red sandstone.
The rural museum of Hředle is located on the village square near the Church of All Saints. The building, now used as a museum, was constructed as a two-class schoolhouse in 1891. The museum displays archaeological finds approximately 6,000 years old; it also features the working mechanism of the church tower clock, which was installed in the tower in 1853.

A local tradition is also part of the village's history: According to local tradition, the nickname Bručánov is derived from a bull that was hidden in the bell tower during the Thirty Years' War.
In the cadastral area of Hředle, a coal-bearing rock formation initially led to coal mining and subsequently to industrial extraction.
