About location

The rolling uplands of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands define the setting of Stařeč — a compact Moravian settlement whose tiled roofs and cultivated fields follow gently undulating ground. At its centre stands the Church of St James the Elder, which gives the village a distinct architectural focus. Stařeč lies in the Vysočina Region, southwest of Třebíč, amid a countryside of small settlements, arable land and wooded edges. Its scale contrasts with nearby Třebíč, whose Jewish Quarter and Basilica of St Procopius form a UNESCO World Heritage site. The dedication of Stařeč’s church to St James connects the community with a saint honoured across the historic lands of Moravia.

The terrain of Kraj Vysočina ranges from rolling uplands in its central and northern districts to river-cut valleys in the south, giving the region a distinctly rural character.

The Sázava and Jihlava are among its principal rivers, threading through woods, fields and small settlements. Its cultural map has remarkable depth: Třebíč’s Jewish Quarter and Basilica of St Procopius form a UNESCO World Heritage property, while the historic centre of Telč is listed separately.

Country Czechia

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
