History and Culture

Otmarov was founded in 1783 by Otmar Konrád, the abbot of Rajhrad Monastery. The first settlers came mainly from northeastern Bohemia and were mostly Germans. The former settlement of Dunajovice probably disappeared in the 15th century as a result of a fire and the subsequent plague.

The chapel of St. Otmar was built by the residents in 1883 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the municipality. The municipality's Chronicle of Memories project comprises interviews with contemporary witnesses from Otmarov about life in the municipality. Otmarov's cultural events include the Otmarovské hody, which take place in November.
