Brňany: Hotels and Accommodation

Brňany is located in the Elbe Lowland on the left bank of the Ohře. The listed Brňany chateau complex includes a granary, barns, stables, cattle sheds, a former garden and an orchard, all enclosed by a perimeter wall.

Culture and History

Brňany was first mentioned in 1057 in the founding charter of the Litoměřice Chapter. In 1226, the village came into the possession of Doksany Monastery. In 1436, Brňany passed into the possession of the city of Litoměřice; in 1551, Doksany Monastery bought the village back. Brňany Chateau is a cultural monument.

The Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows and Saint John of Nepomuk in Brňany dates from 1723. The small square building has a semicircular apse and a polygonal bell turret; the chapel was rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style in the 19th century.

On the first Saturday of every month, services are held in the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows and Saint John of Nepomuk in Brňany by Premonstratensians from Doksany.

Landscape

Two oxbow lakes of the Ohře are located in the cadastral area of Brňany: one in the direction of Bohušovice and one in the direction of Brozany. The fertile soils around Brňany provide the basis for intensive agriculture, particularly the cultivation of grain and vegetables.

The Ohře and its side channels offer fishing opportunities in Brňany.
