Chalupa u Jablka is located in the charming Židovská street in the village of Police .
In the Middle Ages, Jews were not allowed to own land or trade in valuables. And so they made a living trading money. They began to settle intensively in Moravia during the reign of Přemysl Otakar II, who held a protective hand over them. I Charles IV. he supported the settlement of the royal cities of the Jews, as he received fat percentages from their pawnshops. But as the Christian population, the cities themselves, and even the lords began to become more and more indebted to Jewish moneylenders, so did their hostility to smart merchants. This was solved by the ruling Wenceslas IV. foxes: canceled the validity of all debt subscriptions. Ladislav Pohrobek subsequently (at the request of the townspeople) expelled the Jews from the royal cities. Such was Znojmo.
The first Jewish families moved from Znojmo to Police in 1454. From the cultural and commercial centers, where they paid for the king's privileged class, they found themselves without funds and property in a small town. But even there, they managed to establish themselves and prosper. Which again provoked a wave of resentment, and so in 1726 they moved from the city center to a single street with 30 single-storey houses . The two houses always had a common kitchen and chimney. The district also included a wine cellar and a house with a ritual mikveh bath.
Opposite today's Chalupa u Jablka there is also the original synagogue in the style of rural baroque . It is the only one of its kind in Central Europe. Today, it houses an exhibition on the life of Jews in the countryside. Most of the houses have been preserved, as well as the distillery and the hospital with a spa. Nearby is the Jewish cemetery , where 300 tombstones from the Baroque to the beginning of the 20th century have been preserved. The oldest tombstone is dated 1681.

I am Dominika Ela and I come from a small village in Vysočina, although I now spend most of my time in Brno. I always appreciate the opportunity to go out into the countryside, where picturesque nature is only a few steps away and where I can easily slow down and recharge my batteries all the more. I take care of the U Jablka cottage, which was recently tastefully and stylishly renovated by the Dutch designer Nina Boersme. She breathed a unique atmosphere into the cottage and at the same time managed to preserve the spirit of the place, and now I can happily provide the cottage to everyone who wishes to also enjoy some time in a quiet and relaxing environment.
