The small South Bohemian hamlet of Holašovice has arguably become the most well-known Czech village, even beyond the country’s borders, since it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List 25 years ago. But the inscription radically changed life for the local people.
Located 16 kilometres west of České Budějovice, Holašovice made it on UNESCO’s prestigious list because of its well-preserved architecture, including castles, manors, and folk Baroque farm buildings. When you stand in the middle of the central oval village green, you find yourself surrounded by 23 farmhouses, most of them built in the second half of the 19th century, with arched gates and coloured gables.
