Blažovice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The Blažovická forge was built around 1770. After the Velvet Revolution, the Blažovická forge resumed operations with a locksmith's licence; it was run by the sixth and seventh generations of the Kašpařík family in Blažovice.

Culture and History

The commemorative stone plaques in Blažovice document the history of a farm estate that belonged to the Dominican convent at St Anne's. The oldest commemorative stone plaque reports that the farm estate burned down completely on 17 August 1604 and was rebuilt in 1607.

The Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Blažovice was consecrated on 10 June 1934 and dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. The current Stations of the Cross were painted in 1954 by local painter Rudolf Paulík. There is also a sculpture entitled “Setkání” at the northern entrance to the village. It consists of four wooden pylons and was created by sculptor Mgr. Daniel Klose.

The Blažovická bell tower houses two commemorative plaques dedicated to fallen French soldiers and their commanders, Pierre Castex and Colonel Jean Pierre Morland. The new Boží muka pod Starými vinohrady wayside shrine was unveiled on 2 December 1992 on the southern edge of the cadastral area of Blažovice, at the crossroads of the roads from Prace to Křenovice and from Blažovice to Zbýšov. It commemorates the victims of the Battle of Austerlitz and the suffering of the inhabitants of the surrounding municipalities.
