Holašovice – rural Baroque

UNESCO

Holašovice

A village of rural Baroque farmhouses, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998.

This unique set of farmsteads in the so-called rural Baroque style from the 1870s forms an exceptional whole. Holašovice has been a village conservation area since 1995 and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.

Holašovice is not an open-air museum – it is a living village where people still live. Lying away from main roads, it has kept its peace and authenticity.
