Culture

The Church of St. Peter and Paul in Pohoří dates from the end of the 13th century and is mentioned as early as 1369. Its complex is located in the eastern part of Pohoří on a slight elevation and forms a significant urban-planning element in the built-up area of the village. The church is surrounded by a disused cemetery enclosed by a cemetery wall with an entrance on the western side. Together, the church and cemetery form a unified ensemble. In front of the western cemetery wall, south of the cemetery entrance, stands a statue of St. John of Nepomuk.

The pillar-shaped wayside shrine in Mišovice stands in front of the gable façade of house no. 34. It is visible from a considerable distance, forms a significant urban-planning element of the municipality, and is a protected cultural monument.

History

On Hrad Hill, several kilometres southeast of Pohoří, are the ruins of a Late Hallstatt-period fortified settlement dating from the time of Celtic settlement. Celtic settlement in Bohemia is associated with the Boii tribe. In the forest on Malý Kosatín Hill, about 1 km south of the Hrad fortified settlement, there are several Late Hallstatt-period burial mounds in which inhabitants of the aforementioned fortified settlement were presumably buried.

The Chapel of St. Lawrence is located about 300 m east of Svučice on the road to Mišovice.
