Blažim: Hotels and Accommodation

Blažim combines a history dating back to the Middle Ages with trails and landscape features in the surrounding area.

History and Symbols of the Municipality

The first written mention of Blažim dates back to 1183. The village was originally called Plačín; Blažim did not become the municipality’s official name until 1923.

The municipal coat of arms also refers to several historical connections: it contains a silver eight-pointed cross associated with the Knights Hospitaller and incorporates the heraldic symbol of a family named after Blažim or Blažín in the 15th century. Before 1850, Blažim belonged to the Bezdružice estate. Ecclesiastically, the village was always assigned to the Roman Catholic parish in Krsy.
