history

Holašovice was probably founded during the colonization period in the first half of the 13th century. The site was laid out with a regular floor plan around an exceptionally large rectangular village square, which, with its dimensions of 210 × 70 meters, corresponds to the size of the marketplaces of cities founded at that time. The first written mention of Holašovice was on July 3, 1292 in a document from King Wenceslas II about an exchange of goods between the Bohemian crown, Oneš von Němčice and the Hohenfurth monastery . Oneš received the reign of Němčice with the villages of Němčice, Vlhlavy, Chrášťany and Tupesy, which had been confiscated by his father Svatomír of Němčice for serious offenses and given to the monastery in 1273 by King Ottokar II. Přemysl . The Cistercian monastery was compensated for the loss with another stretch of land east of Netolice , the Strýčice district, and received the parish church in Strýčice, the villages of Bory, Dobčice, Holašovice, Lipanovice, Strýčice , Všemily and Záboří and the forests on the Vysoká Běí above from Habří . In a report prepared in 1510 Urbar names of the subjects listed were mostly Czech. Between 1520 and 1525, Holašovice was almost wiped out by the great plague epidemic that broke out in the Budweis area . Only two of the residents survived. On the northern outskirts of Holašovice, a plague column erected on the plague grave commemorates this event. The monastery repopulated the place, the settlers came from Bavaria and Austria . In 1530 there are again 17 settlers in the land register of the monastery. Since then , Holaschowitz has been a German-speaking village and part of the Stritschitz language island . On February 28, 1822, Abbot Isidor Teutschmann succeeded in separating the monastery from the rule of Krumlov . In 1840 Holschowitz consisted of 24 houses with 184 inhabitants. The parish was Groß Cekau . Until the middle of the 19th century, the village remained subject to the Hohenfurth monastery.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Hollschowitz 1850 a district of the municipality Saborz in the district administration Budějovice / Budweis. In 1914 the village had 163 exclusively German-speaking residents. After the Munich Agreement , Hollschowitz was added to the German Reich in 1938 as part of the municipality of Sabor or Saborsch and belonged to the Krummau an der Moldau district until 1945. After the end of the Second World War, Holašovice came back to Czechoslovakia and became part of the Okres České Budějovice again. After most of the German population had been expelled in 1946 , many farms remained uninhabited and fell into disrepair. Resettlement with Czech settlers from the interior was only partially successful. In 1964 Holašovice was separated from Záboří and added to the Jankov municipality . The main reason for the reorganization was the merger of the JZD Holašovice with the JZD Jankov. During the communist rule Holašovice became increasingly deserted. During the shooting of the film Prodaná nevěsta ( The Bartered Bride ), the village of Holašovice, with its unique historical courtyards, which was in decline in contrast to the neighboring villages Dobčice, Lipanovice and Záboří, first came into the public eye in 1972. After 1990 the valuable building structure was extensively restored so that the farmsteads are now inhabited again. The old village smithy was rebuilt. In 1991 the place had 130 inhabitants. In 1998, Holašovice was added to the UNESCO list of monuments as a World Heritage Site . In 2001 the village consisted of 60 houses in which 136 people lived.

A multi-day fair takes place in the village every year at the end of July. It is one of the largest fairs in the Czech Republic. Several hundred craftsmen offer their goods around the large village green. You can find ceramics, glassware, textiles, iron goods and other artisan products there.

Attractions

In Holašovice, the original local structure has been preserved since its foundation. The parcels around the village square with the 17 adjacent farmsteads and a fish pond correspond to the floor plan from the time it was founded. The buildings, built in rural baroque style, date from the 18th to 20th centuries, mainly from the second half of the 19th century. The chapel dedicated to St. John Nepomuk in the center of the village was built in 1755. The stone cross on the village square was erected in 1935.

The stone circle of Holašovice was created from 2008 on the south-eastern outskirts on a field of the farmer Václav Jílek. The centerpiece is the menhir excavated in front of the Jankov municipal office in 2003 , around which Jílek had a cromlech made of 25 different stones and 30 meters in diameter. On June 25, 2011, the facility was expanded to include a dolmen, which consists of three boulders four meters high and a flat stone on top, which come from the Blatná quarry .
