Stochov: Culture, Railways and Regional Excursions

Vacation Apartment in Stochov amid Traditions and Discoveries

Stochov can be explored through specific stories and distinctive places. According to local tradition, Prince Saint Wenceslas was born in Stochov in 903. Also according to local tradition, Saint Ludmila planted the Svatováclavský dub on the day of Wenceslas's birth. This gives you a clear cultural starting point for planning your trip. If you are looking for a vacation apartment in Stochov, you can consider whether such stories should be the focus of your stay.

Places with Their Own History

The Stochov Museum is located at Náměstí U dubu 30 in Stochov. The Kostel sv. Václava church is originally Gothic and dates from the 14th century. In Konopas, the Stochovská kaplička chapel is located on the road from Nové Strašecí to Stochov; it was built in 1856 by the Kurzveilovi couple as a Marian chapel. During a cultural stay, you can therefore distinguish between the museum, Gothic church and Marian chapel.
