Ratiboř benches

Above the Zemans

Ratiboř benches

The bench is located above the cemetery. From here, the path leads up to Kosiska and then to Končiny, from where you can walk towards Troják or Lázy and Kateřinice.

The Evangelical church in Ratiboř from 1842-1861 was designed by the prominent Viennese architect Franz Förster. The church replaced the original wooden house of prayer from 1782. A protected monument is a stone behind the altar, which was used to hide religious books used by the folk preacher Jan Maniš (1746-1781) during the persecution.

Next to the rectory is a bust of T.G. Masaryk, unveiled on 28 October 2018 on the 100th anniversary of the founding of independent Czechoslovakia.

A local saying is connected to the local cemetery - "You will get me over the Zemans!" or "One of these days I'll end up above the Zemans!" or "You make me so mad I'll die!" and similar reasons that were supposed to be the cause of death. Or another - "He's already above the Zemans!" meant that the person in question had already died and was buried in the cemetery. No chronicles or history books have been found to explain why the location of the cemetery is actually called "Above Zemany".

In 1867, a two-classroom school was built on the site of the present school, which served until 1929. Construction of the new school began on August 1, 1929, and the ceremonial handover of the building took place on August 31, 1930. The school is constantly being adapted to the needs of modern education. The last renovation took place in 2020.

Next to the school there is a monument to the victims of World War I.
