Rouchovany: Hotels and Accommodation

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Rouchovany preserves a Romanesque core; at the end of the 13th century, a Gothic chancel was added to its eastern side. Its tower was built to a height of 15 metres in 1585 and completed in 1610 in the style of the so-called Romanesque Renaissance, with coupled windows, reaching its present height of 28.40 metres. Three bells hang in the tower: Saint Wenceslas, the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph.

The traditional pilgrimage in Rouchovany includes a Mass in the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The programme also includes the raising of the maypole and a dance event in the market square. Another place associated with Rouchovany is the “Pánova” spring, which is connected with a local legend.
