Myslovice: Local History and a Natural Garden

Myslovice offers several specific points of interest for planning a trip: a cultural monument dating from the early 19th century, five crosses made from different materials, traces of earlier brickmaking, and a valley between wooded hills. If you are looking for a hotel in Myslovice, you can first consider whether local history or nature will be the deciding factor in choosing your destination. For Zahrada u malíře, the visitor restrictions in 2026 are important; the other topics represent different aspects of the village, regardless. This range makes it easier to choose a destination based on specific interests.

Chapel and Crosses

The Chapel of Saint Mary Magdalene stands in the village square on the main road. It was built at the beginning of the 19th century and is designated a cultural monument. Its construction date and designation complement each other: the first places the chapel in time, while the second identifies its status as a cultural monument. Its location, construction date and designation clearly establish it as a cultural landmark.

There are also five crosses in the municipal area of Myslovice: four are made of cast iron and stand on stone pedestals; the fifth is wooden and depicts Jesus Christ. While the chapel’s construction date and cultural monument status provide its historical context, the crosses are distinguished by their number, materials and design. They complement the single building with a group of crosses whose material differences are easy to recognize, offering another perspective on Myslovice’s cultural heritage.

Landscape and Zahrada u malíře

Myslovice lies in a valley surrounded by wooded hills. This description of the landscape adds a natural setting to the specific cultural features. One named nature destination is Zahrada u malíře: it is the first and so far the only certified natural garden in the Klatovy area; there are four such gardens in the Plzeň Region. Zahrada u malíře is managed without chemical products, artificial fertilizers or peat. The regional information and the gardening practices answer two different questions: where the garden ranks among certified natural gardens, and how it is managed. The natural setting has two scales: the valley and wooded hills describe the surroundings of Myslovice, while the certification and management practices relate specifically to Zahrada u malíře.

For planning a visit, note the restriction: Zahrada u malíře is temporarily closed to public visits in 2026; parts of the garden are still being reconstructed. Check again before your trip to see whether a public visit is possible.

Traces of the Brickworks

The chimney of a former brickworks still stands in Myslovice. It serves as a symbolic reminder of the local production of high-quality bricks, made there primarily by the Kámenova family under the rule of Obytce. While the chapel can be dated to the early 19th century, the chimney points to an earlier history of local production. The two landmarks have different roles: the chapel is designated a cultural monument, while the chimney recalls the brickmaking industry.
