211 inhabitants. The village of Kelčany originated in the 12th century at the place of Old Kelčany under a castle built on the Babylon hill. There is more than a hundred year-long tradition of sugar-refinery, pond culture and brown coal mines - St. Barbora mine from 1859 and Prokop from 1945. An Our Lady's Visitation Chapel built in 1817 can be found at the village green. A preserved tradition is a Kelčany High-Day celebrated on July 2 dedicated to the Virgin and connected with a pilgrimage. At present the village is well-known as a seat of famous brass band Moravanka whose band-master Jan Slabák is a Kelčany native. Info from this site.
