Night of Churches in Holašovice: Nighttime Guided Tour of the Chapel
As part of this year’s Night of Churches, we warmly invite you to a special evening tour of the Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk, located at the northern end of the picturesque Holašovice village square. This unique event offers a rare opportunity to experience this sacred monument in a magical nighttime atmosphere.
Special guided tours will take place from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM.
During the tour, you will not only learn about the architecture and decoration of this small but historically valuable chapel but also about the circumstances of its founding, exceptionally preserved thanks to an authentic founding inscription.
The Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk was founded in 1755 by brothers Bartoloměj and Josef Pimiskorn, local natives who were responsible for its construction and furnishings. They funded the building at their own expense, provided it with an altarpiece depicting the Holy Family, and a bell, and ensured that the care of the chapel would be passed on to the village of Holašovice. These facts are still evidenced today by a stone plaque in the altar table and historic signatures of Holašovice farmers.
The capacity for the tours is limited – advance reservation is required.
Reservations can be made exclusively by phone at +420 777 764 552.
Come and soak up the unique evening atmosphere, discover the history literally carved in stone, and experience the Night of Churches as only Holašovice can offer.
Entrance fee: 200 CZK per person
