Bohušovice Nad Ohří: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Bohušovice nad Ohří stands out with its Baroque church and landscape shaped by the Ohře River. The Church of St. Procopius and St. Nicholas was built in 1716 by Josef Míka, provost of Doksany, on the site of an older predecessor building. It contains a rare late Baroque organ from the second half of the 18th century and has been a cultural monument since 1958. Bohušovice nad Ohří lies in a landscape shaped by the Ohře River and offers views of the České středohoří Highlands.

At Bohušovice n.Ohří railway station, there is a public car park and a nearby scheduled bus stop. The station building or waiting area, as well as at least one platform, is accessible to people with disabilities.

Culture

Below the railway embankment near a viaduct stands the Chapel of St. Anne, bearing the year 1875. Inside are three altar mensae with niches containing images of a guardian angel and the Holy Family.

In the centre of Bohušovice nad Ohří stands the Art Nouveau monument to Jan Hus, created in 1911 by the sculptor Ladislav Beneš. The monument consists of an over-life-size walking sandstone figure atop a natural obelisk and is flanked by two toppled ancient columns. Another notable work is the Baroque sculpture group Sousoší sv. Benedikta. Its three-part pedestal is decorated with reliefs and an inscription; it depicts Saint Benedict, angels with a mitre, and a raven with bread.
