Starý Hrozňatov

Published: 21.7.2007
Starý Hrozňatov is a small picturesque village not far from Czech-German border, distant 10 kms approx. from the town of Cheb.

Local tourist paths border Czech-German border and you reach, walking through, to historical communities with buildings of people´s carpentered architecture (as Monumental Reservation Doubrava – Maria Loreto hutmuseum and skansen) and castle of Hrozňatov, founded after 1200. In its stony tower, there was a a prisoner and starved to death a Bohemian Noble, Blessed Hroznata, a founder of a monastery in Teplá.

Since that time there appeared miracles in the village. However, the castle was not open for public for many years, now it is in a private ownership. The building is undergoing a hard reconstruction and it is obvious that it will never be accessible for public.

Further remarkable place in Starý Hrozňatov: it is an area of Maria Loreto. We recommend you to have a stop at restaurant Pergola, offering pleasant stay and good meals offered from menu. Maria Loreto was consecrated to Virgin Mary, according to Italian shrine of Maria Loreto.

Maria Loreto CemeteryMain entrance is decorated by powerful bell-tower, the cross-corridors are situated to quadrangle form. However, the building suffred a lot from vandalism, and it became a ruin. Anyway, it is a good luct that the whole area is re-newed at present.
