Sights

[edit]
Mšené Castle

Among the main landmarks of Mšené-lázně are Mšené Castle, Chapel of the Saint John of Nepomuk and the town hall.[2]

A fortress, probably built around 1400, was rebuilt into the early Baroque castle in 1660. It was modified in 1748 and then rebuilt in the Neo-Renaissance style at the end of the 19th century. Today it is privately owned and inaccessible.[7]

The set of spa buildings from 1796 is protected as a cultural monument. At the beginning of the 20th century, they were rebuilt in their present form. They combine different architectural styles: late Baroque, Neoclassicism, Art Nouveau, folk art and modern architecture.[8]

The Church of Saint Barbara is located in Ječovice. It was originally a Gothic church, probably from the 14th century. In 1783, it was rebuilt in the late Baroque style.[9]

The Church of Saint Giles is located in Ředhošť. It was built in the Romanesque style, probably in the 12th century, and extended in the 14th century. Its present appearance is the result of Baroque modifications from the second half of the 18th century, but the Romanesque tower has been preserved.[10]
