The Church of St. Anne and sacred landmarks

The Church of St. Anne was built in 1875 by Josef and Anna Strnadovi. It was renovated around 1930 and again in the 1990s. A mass is held there every year on the feast day of Saint Anne; this tradition continues to this day. If the mass is relevant to your travel dates, check the local schedule in advance. The construction date and renovation phases mark three distinct periods in the history of the church building.

A wayside shrine of unknown age was modified in more recent times. Unlike the dated church, its date of origin remains unknown; the modification belongs to a later phase of its history. This means that different timelines exist side by side in the history of sacred architecture: the church’s construction date and renovations can be dated, while the age of the wayside shrine is unknown.

A stone cross in front of František Prokop’s farmhouse in Nová Ves u Chýnova was made by the stonemason Studenovský. This attribution makes the detail specific: alongside its shape and material, the person who made the cross is also named.

Sandstone, architecture, and landscape

Nová Ves u Chýnova and Turovec are located on a deposit of Permian sandstone covering approximately 8 km². In the area around Nová Ves u Chýnova, most older buildings and sacred monuments are made of local Permian sandstone. This links the geology of the landscape with its architectural history: the rock is not only a feature of the surroundings but also the material used in many older structures.

The road bridge in the Nová Ves u Chýnova district crosses the Kozský potok. The substantial, single-arch structure is made of stone and partly of brick, and is sensitively integrated into the natural relief. “Single-arch” describes a structure with a single arch. For travelers interested in architecture, the bridge offers three distinct aspects: its form, material, and integration into the landscape.

Village development and hiking

The broad, grassy village green was formerly used as pasture for domestic poultry. From the 18th century onward, it was gradually built up with small houses. The green thus tells a story of gradual change: its former use as pasture gave way to step-by-step development. Malá Ves was laid out on a horseshoe-shaped plan; this settlement pattern adds another feature to the picture of local development.

A hiking route from Chýnov to Chýnovská jeskyně passes through Nová Ves u Chýnova, Dobronice, and Chotčiny. It is rated easy and has an elevation difference of 279 m. The difficulty rating and elevation difference describe different aspects of the route. Check route conditions and access before setting out. This will help you take the hike into account alongside the village’s historical and architectural attractions when planning your trip.
