SAMOPŠE


Samopse is a village located in the region of Kutna Hora along the river Sazava approx. 350 metres above the sea level. The first written mention of the village Samopse comes from the year 1397. It constitutes of the villages: Samopše (the official name), Mrchojedy, Prívlaky, Talmberk and Budín (affiliated parts). There is also a train stop, where the well known veteran train Posazavsky Pacifik stops.
Our ancestors were interested in agriculture here. They planted mainly a special kind of wheat, which they called samopse-spaltu; hence the name of the village.
Original buildings formed the village green (N 49° 51.678; E 014° 55.758); they were built from stone and wood. The roofs were mainly thatched. In Samopse there was also a pub (N 49° 51.612; E 14° 55.683), which was sold by abbot Anastasius Slancovsky to Vojtech Budinsky.
During your journey from the village green to the pub you may observe local village chapel (N 49° 51.642; E 014° 55.722).

Cache is located not far from the village towards the local Home care centre for seniors, the watermill and the weir.

Good LUCK!
