Culture and History

The Augustinian monastery complex in Dolní Ročov is protected as a cultural monument and is a Baroque ensemble; its church was built according to a design by Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer. The complex includes the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, a garden, a cemetery, a mortuary and surrounding walls. Behind the monastery, the Baroque gate portal of the former convent brewery can be seen. The complex is accessible only during a Mass or by prior arrangement with the deanery in Louny.

The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Horní Ročov was founded in 1355 and rebuilt in 1833. Its tower serves as a landmark, particularly from the main road, and is visible in distant views from the south. Opposite the church in Ročov stands a Baroque statue of the Madonna dating from 1713.

Trails and Nature

A green-marked hiking trail connects the bus stop in Ročov with the monastery in Dolní Ročov, 1 km away. The Stezka Panny Marie Področovské educational trail presents the historical and natural attractions of the area around Ročov in the Džbán Nature Park.

About 200 metres from the square towards Louny, a Baroque niche chapel dedicated to St Vojtěch stands on the left side of the road. Ročov Square is also home to a lime tree designated as a natural monument, estimated to be about 200 years old. There is a disc golf course in the recreation area near the monastery.
