Tuhan: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Culture and history

The first documented mention of the church in Tuhaň dates from 1362. In 1711, the old church was replaced by the Baroque Church of St. Gallus under the patronage of Franz Ernst von Waldstein. Most of the furnishings in the Church of St. Gallus date from 1711.

Near the church there is a sculpture group depicting the Mount of Olives, with a statue of the Redeemer, a statue of an angel and three sleeping apostles. A new bell tower next to the church replaced the older bell tower in the centre of Tuhaň in 1833; the cemetery was moved outside the village. A statue of Saint Florian was erected in Tuhaň village square in 1736.
