Rimov: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In Římov, the pilgrimage complex with the Church of the Holy Spirit and the Loreto Chapel is a national cultural monument. A Loreto Chapel, founded in 1648, stands in the center of its courtyard.

Culture

The Baroque church of the Římov pilgrimage complex was built between 1672 and 1697 on a central circular ground plan. The ambits of the Římov pilgrimage complex contain 34 paintings depicting scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary.

The Římov Way of the Cross comprises 25 stations. The chapels are arranged across the landscape so that they correspond to the traditional Way of the Cross in Jerusalem. The Way of the Cross runs through the village, across fields and through the forest, as well as along the Malše River.

In Římov, guided tours are offered of the pilgrimage complex, its ambits, and the pilgrimage museum. The “Roubenka” museum is located in an original wooden house dating from 1610.

Landscape

The Římov drinking-water reservoir was built on the Malše River between 1971 and 1978. In places, the valley of the Malše flowing through Římov has a gorge-like character with rock formations.

The cultural landscape of the Římovsko Landscape Monument Zone is particularly characterized by the extensive pilgrimage complex. It is considered one of the finest examples of a Baroque landscape arising from Catholic mysticism.
