Two historical traces

The earliest written mention cited is of Tážaly: it dates from 1078. At that time, the Moravian prince Ota Olomoucký gave the village to the Benedictine monastery in Klášterní Hradisko. Kožušany is first mentioned in writing in 1297. These years mark the first written mentions, not necessarily the beginning of settlement. They give you two distinct points of reference for the history of the place names. If you are interested in local history, you can distinguish the information about Tážaly and Kožušany rather than combining them into a single story of their origins.

Chapel of St. Anne and stone cross

At the center of Kožušany stands the octagonal Baroque Chapel of St. Anne, built in 1750. Octagonal describes a shape with eight sides and thus identifies a specific architectural feature of the building. A stone cross dating from 1888 stands in front of the chapel. The two years can be read as separate dates: 1750 for the chapel and 1888 for the cross. Together, the chapel and the cross provide a specific focal point for your interest in local architectural and cultural history.

Planning with train, bus and cycling route

Two different locations are important when planning your journey. Kožušany has a railway stop on the Olomouc–Prostějov–Brno line. Tážaly has a bus stop on the Olomouc–Tovačov–Kroměříž route. If you are planning your accommodation and journey together, first consider which stop fits your planned route. Check the timetable for your travel date, as timetables can change.

There is also a specific point of interest for cycle tourists: the long-distance Moravian Trail cycling route runs through Kožušany-Tážaly. You can therefore factor the route into your tour planning as a point of reference in its own right. Train, bus and cycling route offer different reference points for choosing where to stay, without requiring you to use any particular form of transport.

Statues in Tážaly and on the road to Kožušany

The two statues mentioned can be distinguished by their locations. Socha sv. Norberta lies west of the center of Tážaly, beyond the viaduct, about 700 m away along a field track. A visitor description from 2025 describes it as freely accessible. Socha sv. Jana Nepomuckého stands on the secondary road to Kožušany, about 50 m before the village. The full name and location of each statue can therefore help you find your way: for Socha sv. Norberta, look for Tážaly, the viaduct and the field track; for Socha sv. Jana Nepomuckého, look for the secondary road to Kožušany.
