Culture and History

The Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Nový Dům is a Baroque church with a cemetery on a prominent hill. The protected complex is located at the top of a low hill by a small pond on the northeastern edge of the village. It consists of the church, an enclosing wall with a gate, and the delineated plots of the site.

The Baroque statue of Saint John of Nepomuk was erected in 1723 at the site of a costly hunting event held in 1721 for Empress Elisabeth Christine. It stands in the forest in the Alžbětin district, approximately 1.8 km east of the village of Nový Dům and about 600 m south of the road from Nový Dům to Lány, at the intersection of forest paths in the middle of a large, artificially created circular grassy clearing.

In the 14th century, the small Doupno monastery with a wooden chapel dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene stood in the territory of Nový Dům. In the 16th century, an aurochs enclosure and a building for the keeper were established there; they formed the basis for the later village and its name. The historic Maxdorf farmstead still features preserved historic buildings.
