Vážany: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

At the southwestern edge of Vážany stands the church “Kostel Zvěstování Panny Marie”, a small central-plan building with a Greek cross floor plan. The central space is vaulted by a dome; the arms of the cross have barrel vaults with intersecting triangular vault lunettes. The sacristy contains a historically valuable painting of the Last Supper on wood. In front of the church stands a monument to those who fell in the First World War, erected in 1925.

Devonian limestone from the Moravian Karst extends as far as Vážany. The mountains Skalky, Skatulec, Skály and Bučí are located in the vicinity of Vážany.
