Otnice: Church, History and Mountains

Otnice is home to a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk with an adjacent park. The Chapel of the Virgin Mary is also located in the town. The traditional costumes of Otnice can currently be seen at festive events. In Otnice, this brings together permanent structures, a designed space around the statue and a time-specific cultural expression.

For your planning, you can consider the three forms mentioned – church, chapel and statue with park – as different types of stops. The church and chapel represent sacred buildings, while the statue with the adjacent park provides another connection to the town.

The first written mention of Otnice dates from 1255; at that time, the local nobles Hypolit and Jindřich of Otnice were mentioned. The first written mention of the church at this location dates from 1378. The Aloiské hody festival took place in Otnice from June 20 to 21, 2026.

The years place the history of the town and church in chronological order: the mention of Otnice in 1255 was followed by the mention of the church in 1378, while the present church building dates from 1855 and 1856. Aloiské hody adds a festive date in June 2026 to this historical context.
