Vanovice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture and History

Vanovice brings together ecclesiastical architectural history in two churches. The Protestant church was built in the Neo-Romanesque style with a semicircular apse and was ceremonially opened on 11 August 1844. Its façade was given two towers between 1863 and 1865; it also still has a functioning spring-operated bell-ringing mechanism.

The core of the Catholic Church of St. Wenceslas in Vanovice dates back to the 15th century. The former churchyard around the Catholic church is now a park.

In the center of Vanovice stands the historic Občanská záložna building, which was built in 1896 as a civic savings bank. Its historic hall has an original theater curtain, professionally restored in 2021, and is used for smaller cultural events, including concerts.

Events

The Vanovické hudebně výtvarné slavnosti take place in the Protestant church. The 10th Malohanácké řemeslné jarmark was announced in Vanovice for 19 July 2025.
