Mariánská Hora: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

In the 16th century, a chapel was built on Mariánská Hora for a statue of the Virgin Mary found by a former local resident named Bittner. The pilgrimage tradition to the Chapel of the Virgin Mary on Mariánská Hora was revived in 1990. After local parishioners had restored a new statue of the Virgin Mary, the chapel was reconsecrated in 1995.
