Vraclav site - The memorial commemorates the bloody events of the year 1108 when the Premyslids killed off the Vršovec family in Vraclav (still known as Vratislav at the time). The grounds include the Church of St. Nicholas, buildings of the former spa, and the so-called “fráterky.” This hermitage from 1692 earned its name from the striking of the clock in the wooden tower, known earlier as “fráterka” or “fláterka.” A hermit resided in the fráterka and it was this individual’s task to record those who were cured; he also stored medicinal herbs and other medications. In 1782 hermitages in the Czech lands were abolished.
