Culture and History

The historic centre of Pětihosty preserves the original type of village settlement with a village green, including a chapel, agricultural estates and farmsteads. The chapel stands amid the existing buildings and thus in the centre of the existing settlement, on the former village green. It is a rectangular, single-nave Classicist building with a gabled roof and a lantern with a bell; its granite portal and the side windows have round arches. The chapel, with its small bell tower, dates from the mid-19th century and is listed as a cultural monument.

Further historical traces can be found at Dvůr Obora, which preserves the surviving layout and some of the buildings of an original, isolated farmstead. The central and oldest part of Pětihosty belongs to an area with suspected archaeological sites. The first written mention of Pětihosty dates from 1371. The earth rampart of the Pětihosty fortress was levelled during the construction of the surrounding houses.
