Culture

Lom u Tachova was first mentioned in writing in 1379. On the road to Brod nad Tichou, in front of house no. 47, stands a late Gothic wayside shrine dated 1594. The stone late Gothic wayside shrine “Boží muka” has a polygonal pillar and a superstructure crowned by a shouldered arch.

History

Lomský mlýn, formerly called Birlmühle, is mentioned as early as 1615. It has been preserved and is used for recreation; it can be reached via the road from Lom to Klíčov. In front of Lomský mlýn has stood a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk from the workshop of G. Böhm since 1829. The statue is a 280 cm-high granite sculpture, with the figure itself measuring 94 cm.

Near the railway crossing, a circular stone stele bears depictions of a sword and a severed hand, as well as cross symbols. A cellar with a barrel vault located behind house no. 25 and low earth mounds visible in its vicinity are considered possible remains of the former fortress.
