Nová Ves u Chýnova between village history and a hiking route

Nová Ves u Chýnova combines village history, traces of craftsmanship, and landscape with specific points of interest. For planning your trip, the main attractions are St. Anne’s Church, the road bridge over the Kozský potok, the local Permian sandstone, and a hiking route to Chýnov Cave. This allows you to combine a cultural site with a clearly described hike and experience different aspects of the destination.

An important historical landmark is St. Anne’s Church. It was built in 1875 by Josef and Anna Strnadovi, renovated around 1930, and renovated again in the 1990s. A mass is celebrated there every year on the feast day of Saint Anne; this tradition continues to this day. The church therefore represents both its architectural history and a religious tradition that has been maintained to the present.

Sandstone, a bridge, and traces of village life

A distinctive architectural feature is the road bridge in the Nová Ves u Chýnova district. It crosses the Kozský potok and is a solid, single-arch stone structure built partly of bricks. The bridge blends sensitively into the natural relief. Nová Ves u Chýnova and Turovec also lie on a deposit of Permian sandstone covering approximately 8 km². In the vicinity of Nová Ves u Chýnova, most older buildings and sacred monuments are made of the local Permian sandstone. Those who pay attention to architectural forms and materials can observe the road, stone, and landscape relief together in a single structure.

The village structure also tells the story of earlier uses. The broad, grass-covered village green was formerly used as pasture for domestic poultry and was gradually built up with small houses from the 18th century onward. Malá Ves was laid out on a horseshoe-shaped plan. Another stone detail is the cross in front of František Prokop’s farmstead in Nová Ves u Chýnova; it was made by the stonemason Studenovský. A wayside shrine of unknown age was adapted in more recent times. The settlement pattern complements the individual monuments with a spatial perspective on the development of the village.
