Nihošovice displays its history particularly clearly in the listed chateau grounds: these include the cellars of the former fortress, the front and rear gardens, and an enclosing wall with gates.
Culture and history
Nihošovice Chateau was probably built onto an older fortress between 1670 and 1675. West of Nihošovice stands the Chapel of Saint Anthony of Padua, dating from the late 17th century. The central building has a cruciform layout and a vaulted dome above the central space. The chapel in Nihošovice was built in 1693; two small towers with onion domes complete its appearance.
