If you&#8217;re visiting this corner of the Czech Republic, you should absolutely make time for <strong>Hola\u0161ovice, a village in the Czech Republic<\/strong> near the town of \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice that rightly prides itself on its unique architecture. This isn&#8217;t some artificially built open-air museum, but a completely <strong>authentic and still inhabited village<\/strong> where people genuinely live and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is, the whole village is fairly small, and a walk all the way around it takes you roughly an hour, so it doesn&#8217;t quite make sense to travel here for a whole day from the other side of the country. But if you&#8217;re planning a <strong>road trip through South Bohemia<\/strong> or you&#8217;re spending a holiday somewhere nearby, definitely pencil in a short stop, because you simply have to see those white, decorated gables with red roofs with your own eyes. Plenty of international tourists come here on purpose, and it&#8217;s a <strong>UNESCO site<\/strong> well worth seeking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s walk through <strong>what to see in Hola\u0161ovice<\/strong> and how to make the most of your visit. You&#8217;ll also get all the <strong>practical info on parking<\/strong>, learn a few facts from its rather turbulent history, and I&#8217;ll throw in a couple of recommendations for nice places to stay nearby, in case you fancy sticking around the region a bit longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a4b658a9a67a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\"

That said, you&#8217;ll have the best experience from spring to autumn, when the weather is pleasant, the trees on the green are green, and the white house facades stand out beautifully against a blue sky. In the summer season the local pubs and museum are open too, so you can round off your visit with a coffee or lunch. Personally, we love late spring or early autumn best, when there aren&#8217;t as many tourists as during the summer holidays and the little village feels far more peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you like collecting stamps or want to pick up a souvenir, you&#8217;ll want to know the opening hours of the local info centre, which sits in house number 43. From April to October it&#8217;s open on weekends and public holidays, roughly from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon. In November and December it opens Friday to Sunday, and from January to March the info centre is closed altogether. Keep in mind that on Mondays most of the indoor exhibitions in the area are shut, although a stroll around the green is of course always possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A completely special time is the Rural Festivities (Selsk\u00e9 slavnosti), held every year on the last weekend of July. Over these three days the village transforms into a huge historical fair full of traditional crafts, folklore and period atmosphere. It really is a wonderful experience, but be aware that these are the busiest days of the entire year. If you&#8217;re not a fan of crowds and want to photograph the houses in peace without hundreds of heads in the frame, it&#8217;s better to skip this July weekend and enjoy Hola\u0161ovice on an ordinary weekday instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_to_Holasovice_and_Where_to_Park\"><\/span>How to Get to Hola\u0161ovice and Where to Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The village of Hola\u0161ovice falls under the municipality of Jankov and lies just about 15 kilometres west of \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice. By far the most comfortable way to get here is by car. From the centre of \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice you head towards Lhenice, and the drive takes only a little over twenty minutes. The road winds through the typical South Bohemian landscape of fields and small woods, so even the journey itself is a treat. Hola\u0161ovice works best as a stop on a larger South Bohemian loop, since the village itself can be walked fairly quickly and it isn&#8217;t worth driving here for a whole day from far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access into the village itself is restricted for non-residents, which is entirely understandable \u2014 the narrow green couldn&#8217;t cope with a flood of tourist cars. On the edge of the village, though, you&#8217;ll find a large and clearly laid-out official car park where you can leave your car without any trouble. Parking is paid, at roughly 2 \u20ac per hour (I&#8217;d recommend keeping some coins on you for the machine, though modernisation is moving along quickly). From the car park it&#8217;s only a few dozen metres on foot to the central green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re travelling by public transport it&#8217;s a little trickier, but doable. No train runs directly to Hola\u0161ovice, so you&#8217;ll have to rely on buses. From the bus station in \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice there are lines heading towards Lhenice that stop in Hola\u0161ovice. The trip takes just under 45 minutes, but services aren&#8217;t especially frequent \u2014 particularly at weekends you&#8217;ll need to plan the timetables carefully. If you&#8217;re heading to South Bohemia without your own car, it&#8217;s well worth considering a rental, as it will save you a lot of time and hassle when hopping between the sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LK_CARRENTAL_PLACEHOLDER -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_and_around_Holasovice\"><\/span>Where to Stay in and around Hola\u0161ovice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though the village is tiny, there are several options for laying your head down here \u2014 some of them right in the historic surroundings. Staying in Hola\u0161ovice is ideal for those of you who want total peace and quiet and to soak up the village atmosphere early in the morning or late in the evening, once all the day-trippers have left. But if you&#8217;re planning a more active holiday and want to head out to towns and castles every day, it makes more sense to base yourself in one of the larger towns nearby, which serve as a great strategic hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are our specific accommodation tips across different categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <strong>Right on the green in Hola\u0161ovice:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=holasovice&amp;hotelname=Pension%20%C5%A0pejchar%20u%20Vojty&amp;address=Hola%C5%A1ovice%2C%20%C4%8Cesko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Pension \u0160pejchar u Vojty<\/a> offers lovely family apartments with their own kitchenette.

Its dimensions are quite generous for a Czech village, and it&#8217;s precisely thanks to this unchanged medieval layout that the village earned its place on the <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/861\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">UNESCO list<\/a>. Around the green stand 23 heritage-protected farmsteads, though the village has around 120 buildings in total. In the middle of the green you&#8217;ll find a classic village pond that gives the whole space that perfect South Bohemian idyll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stand at the edge of the pond, look all around, and an incredible sense of calm washes over you. The white facades of the surrounding houses are mirrored on the water&#8217;s surface, and in the summer months flowers bloom in the window boxes. I&#8217;d recommend slowly walking all the way around the green along the grassy edge and looking at the farmsteads from different angles, because each side of the green catches slightly different light and offers different opportunities for beautiful photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_Decorated_Gables_of_Rural_Baroque\"><\/span>2.

These farmsteads got their present-day look mostly in the second half of the 19th century, during the main wave of rebuilding the originally wooden farms into brick buildings. The village&#8217;s wealthy farmers wanted to show off their fortune, so they had ornate facades built whose stucco details imitated grand baroque churches and manor houses. You&#8217;ll spot wide volutes (those curling scroll shapes at the edges), inscriptions, construction dates and small niche shrines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here I have to set the record straight on a common misconception. Rural baroque was indeed made famous by the celebrated master mason Jakub Bursa, but his documented buildings are mostly found around Prachatice and Strakonice. The Hola\u0161ovice gables are in fact the anonymous work of skilled local masons whose names, sadly, haven&#8217;t survived. And yet they did an absolutely fantastic job, creating a unified whole that has no equal in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Farmsteads_and_Arched_Gates\"><\/span>3.

A typical Hola\u0161ovice farmstead consists of a residential house on one side and a granary or farm building on the other. Between them sits a magnificent massive enclosing wall with arched gates, through which carts loaded with hay once passed. These walls with their gates visually link the whole green together and create that characteristic enclosed look of a farmyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s important to keep in mind at all times that Hola\u0161ovice really isn&#8217;t an open-air museum. Local residents genuinely live in these houses \u2014 they drive off to work in the morning and sit in their gardens in the afternoon. Even though the gates are often open and tempt you to peek into the courtyard, we must respect the locals&#8217; privacy and not step onto their private property uninvited. Most of the courtyards are beautifully kept and full of flowers, which you can admire from a safe distance at the gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"holasovice\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-07-06T03:05:55+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

The first written mention of the village dates from 1292, when it was donated to the monastery in Vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed Brod. The worst period came around 1520 to 1521, when a terrible plague struck the village and it was almost entirely depopulated. The Vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed Brod estate therefore had to resettle the empty houses, and mostly German-speaking inhabitants moved in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The German population settled here for centuries, and even in the 1910 census a full one hundred percent of local residents reported German as their language. Everything changed after the Second World War, when between 1945 and 1946 the German-speaking old-timers were expelled and Czechs from the interior moved into the empty houses. If you&#8217;d like to learn more about how farming worked here in the 19th century, be sure to visit Farmstead No. 6, home to a museum of the traditional South Bohemian village. Museum admission is paid separately and the exhibition is really nicely done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_Chapel_of_St_John_of_Nepomuk\"><\/span>5.

The little chapel with its small bell tower is not only the compositional centre of the whole enormous green but was also, for centuries, its spiritual heart, where the villagers gathered to pray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s built in a simple baroque style that pairs beautifully with the surrounding majestic gables of the farmsteads.

It&#8217;s the so-called Hola\u0161ovice Stonehenge, a stone circle of twenty-five giant menhirs about 30 metres in diameter. I have to make it crystal clear here that this isn&#8217;t some prehistoric mystical monument, but a modern structure built by a local enthusiast as recently as 2008. Around the circle you&#8217;ll also find various wooden sculptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While some bloggers, both foreign and Czech, tend to criticise the place and consider it a bit of a tourist kitsch, plenty of Czechs happily come here to recharge their energy or simply take a walk. Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I take a relaxed view of it. If you enjoy modern megaliths and a touch of the esoteric, definitely pop over for a look. At the very least there&#8217;s a lovely view over the surrounding South Bohemian landscape, and on a clear day you can even spot the cooling towers of the Temel\u00edn nuclear power plant from the hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_The_Rural_Festivities_and_Photographing_the_Village\"><\/span>7.

The whole green fills up with dozens of stalls of traditional Czech crafts, the smell of food is everywhere, folk music plays and people walk about in period costumes. It&#8217;s the perfect chance to experience the village in full swing, much as it might have looked a hundred years ago during the great markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you come outside the festivities, you&#8217;ll find absolutely perfect conditions for photography. I&#8217;d recommend walking not only the inner perimeter of the green but also peeking into the side lanes and examining the details up close. The house facades are often decorated with little crosses, dates or the names of the original owners, and all these details are what make Hola\u0161ovice so extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: If you want the best photos without cars and people, come here early in the morning \u2014 even around eight o&#8217;clock \u2014 or, on the other hand, in the early evening, when the setting sun turns the white facades golden and most of the tour buses are long gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Eat_in_Holasovice\"><\/span>Where to Eat in Hola\u0161ovice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a walk around the green you&#8217;re bound to work up an appetite, and luckily you don&#8217;t have to go far. Right in the village there are several restaurants aimed primarily at tourists, serving classic Czech cuisine. Traditional South Bohemian country cooking has historically been very meat-heavy, so on the menu you&#8217;ll mainly come across roast meats, rich sv\u00ed\u010dkov\u00e1 (beef sirloin in cream sauce), pork with dumplings and sauerkraut, and of course carp from the nearby South Bohemian ponds \u2014 a huge local speciality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I are both vegetarians, these heavy classics go completely over our heads. When visiting places like this we usually fall back on the tried-and-tested safe bet of fried cheese with tartare sauce, proper garlicky potato pancakes, or a good meat-free soup. Very often we solve lunch by sitting on the garden terrace of Restaurace \u0160pejchar u Vojty, having an excellent coffee with something sweet, and then driving into the larger town of \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice for a proper meal, where the choice of vegetarian dishes is much wider. Still, I&#8217;d definitely recommend stopping at one of the pubs on the green for at least a pint of draught beer or a homemade lemonade, because sitting with a view of those gorgeous farmstead gables is an experience in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_Trips_from_Holasovice\"><\/span>Day Trips from Hola\u0161ovice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hola\u0161ovice sits in an absolutely strategic spot, so once you&#8217;ve explored the little village you can head straight on to discover more of South Bohemia&#8217;s charms.

It&#8217;s a regular, permanently inhabited village where about 150 residents live in ancient farmsteads. Most of the houses are privately owned, so you can only view their exteriors from the village green.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781505080001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_it_cost_to_enter_the_village_of_Holasovice\"><\/span>How much does it cost to enter the village of Hola\u0161ovice?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>&#8220;`html<br \/>\nA stroll through the entire village and admiring the beautiful farmhouse gables is completely free. You only pay for parking at the official car park on the edge of the village (roughly \u20ac2 per hour) and possibly an entrance fee to the local museum at Farmstead No. 6 or a voluntary donation at the Hola\u0161ovice Stonehenge.<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781505080002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_was_the_Holasovice_Stonehenge_built\"><\/span>When was the Hola\u0161ovice Stonehenge built?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Although the name might evoke ancient times, the stone circle behind the village was built only in 2008 by a local enthusiast and builder. So it&#8217;s not an ancient monument, but a modern esoteric project consisting of 25 large menhirs and serves mainly as a viewpoint.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781505080003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_the_author_of_the_Holasovice_gables\"><\/span>Who is the author of the Hola\u0161ovice gables?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It&#8217;s often mistakenly stated that the rural Baroque in Hola\u0161ovice is the work of the famous mason Jakub Bursa. However, he worked primarily in the Prachatice and Strakonice regions. The Hola\u0161ovice farmsteads were reconstructed to their present form between 1840 and 1880 by unnamed local masons, whose skill was absolutely exceptional.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781505080004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_a_visit_to_Holasovice_take\"><\/span>How long does a visit to Hola\u0161ovice take?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The village is quite small, so a leisurely stroll around the village green and taking all the photos will take you about an hour. If you decide to visit the local museum in the Farmstead, check out the Stonehenge, or sit down for a coffee at the restaurant, count on about two hours.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781505080005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_come_to_Holasovice_with_a_dog\"><\/span>Can I come to Hola\u0161ovice with a dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, you can bring your dog to Hola\u0161ovice without any problems.
