Havraň: architectural history, festivals and summer fishing

When looking for a hotel for a stay in Havraň, first decide what you want to focus on: architectural history, an event or a seasonal activity. The Church of St. Lawrence points to an older architectural history; events are tied to specific years and dates, while fishing is possible in summer. These differences can help you match your travel dates to your interests. Future event dates cannot be inferred from past editions.

The church complex on the eastern edge

The Church of St. Lawrence complex is on the eastern edge of Havraň, along the road toward Lično. The complex includes the filial Church of St. Lawrence, a mortuary chapel and a brick perimeter wall with an entrance gate. The term therefore refers to more than just the church building and includes the listed structures. The church was built on the site of an earlier Gothic chapel. This sequence is important to its architectural history: the chapel was the predecessor on the site, and the Church of St. Lawrence was built in its place. Those interested in religious architecture can distinguish the earlier building from the church. Its location is also easy to pinpoint: on the eastern edge of town, along the road toward Lično.

Events with specific dates

Dožínky a vavřinecká pouť (Harvest Festival and St. Lawrence Pilgrimage) took place in Havraň in 2023 and again in 2025. The traditional event Pálení čarodějnic (Witches’ Bonfire) was also held there on April 30, 2026. The two events have different time references: the first took place in two different years, while a specific date in 2026 is given for the second. If you would like to combine your trip with a festival, check the dates separately for your chosen travel year. That way, you won’t automatically assume a future festival date based on past editions.

Sports field and directions

The multipurpose sports field is behind Building No. 42, between that building and the soccer field. Two landmarks are given to help you find it; the sports field is not the same as the soccer field. If you plan to use the sports area, follow these directions rather than looking only for the soccer field.

Summer fishing at the ponds

Fishing is possible at Havraň’s local ponds in summer. Check seasonal conditions and local access before planning this activity. Unlike a festival with a specific event date, fishing is tied to a season. So if it is the focus of your stay, plan your trip for summer and check the conditions before your visit.

Cemetery renovation

As part of the renovation of the cemetery in Havraň, a new wrought-iron main entrance gate was acquired. In June 2026, the municipality announced that work on the gate and the cemetery renovation had been completed. This is a recent construction change with a specific time reference. It differs from the older architectural history of the Church of St. Lawrence, which was built on the site of an earlier Gothic chapel. The comparison highlights two distinct periods: the church’s construction on the former chapel site and the cemetery renovation completed in 2026.
