About this place
Draft version — publicly available information about this site is very limited, so this description relies strictly on verified facts and has been kept short to avoid adding unconfirmed details.
The "Obětem 1. sv. války" monument (To the Victims of the First World War) is a small memorial standing in the village of Dobřejovice, in the Prague-East District, Central Bohemian Region, about 8 kilometres southeast of Prague.
What is known about this site?
Dobřejovice is a small village of just over 1,300 residents, first mentioned in written records in 1309. Publicly available sources do not give an exact year for when the World War I memorial was erected, nor do they describe its form, material, or the names of those it commemorates — modest local memorials of this kind, put up in villages across the Czech lands after 1918 to honour residents who died on the fronts of the Great War, often went undocumented in widely accessible sources.
An indirect trace of the monument's existence appears in the local village chronicle: it mentions the memorial to the fallen as a landmark in connection with the construction of a sewer line to a nearby stream in 1958. This shows the monument already stood in the village by the mid-20th century, though the chronicle does not specify when it was originally built.
Where exactly does the monument stand?
The monument is located within the village of Dobřejovice. Publicly available sources do not give its precise address or geographic coordinates within the village.
Are there other sights in Dobřejovice?
The village's main tourist attraction is the nearby Dobřejovice Chateau (Zámek Dobřejovice) — it, rather than the war memorial, dominates the available descriptions of the village.
