Mokré Lazce is a place where sacred architectural history, community meeting places, sport and an unusual palaeontological trace come together.

Culture and History

The Church of St John the Baptist, a protected cultural monument, is at the heart of the village’s history. In the 16th century, the Tvorkovští family had a wooden church built in Mokré Lazce and entrusted it to the administration of the Dominican Order. In 2024, the Mokré Lazce parish took part in the Night of Churches and offered, among other things, an exhibition on the history of the church and parish, a musical performance and an interactive programme for children at the local church. The Chapel of St Anne is a small Baroque chapel dating from 1747, located on a road within the built-up area of the village. In the wider regional surroundings of Mokré Lazce, Rzuchow - Zameczek is a castle, while Cvilin is a ruin.
