About Žampach Village
Today´s village ties to the former settlement round the castle (so called “Budy”). The closest village is Hlavná. Žampach was the county seat; however, after the abrogation of the county authorities in 1848/1849, Žampach was losing its social as well as economic significance. The oldest, still preserved, buildings are timbered houses from 18th/19th century. These are mainly ground floor tripartite houses (timbered till the half of the 19th century, bricked since the first half of the 19th century).

The oldest preserved stonework is the county stake from 1693, which is situated on the hill between the castle (visit link) hill and the chateau park (visit link) .
