Culture and History
Osov Castle is located on the northern edge of Osov. It is surrounded by a park containing a granary building and other structures. The castle was built between 1728 and 1737 on the site of an earlier fortress. Under Václav Palivec, it served as a cultural meeting place; frequent guests included Karel Čapek with Olga Scheinpflugová, the sculptor Karel Dvořák with Leopolda Dostálovu, and the writer Ferdinand Peroutka.
The Church of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist in Osov is a High Baroque building dating from 1734 to 1738. The Osov-related section of the Vintířova stezka begins there; its fourth stage leads from Osov to Svatý Jan pod Skalou.
The former sugar factory in Osov began sugar production on 12 October 1858. It was shut down in spring 1886 and subsequently dissolved.
