On the village square along the main road stands the Chapel of Saint Mary Magdalene; five crosses of different designs are also found within the municipality. Myslovice thus brings together a clearly located building, religious symbols, traces of historic brickmaking and a certified natural garden. These themes offer different ways to explore local history, but visitors planning a trip should note a particular restriction regarding the garden.

The Chapel on the Village Square

The Chapel of Saint Mary Magdalene was built at the beginning of the 19th century and is listed as a cultural monument. Its location on the village square along the main road makes its setting as specific as its dedication. Here, the date of construction, name and designation come together to create a clear focal point for travellers interested in historic religious buildings. The building’s history and its listing as a cultural monument provide two distinct points of reference for understanding the chapel in Myslovice.

Five Crosses of Different Forms

Five crosses stand within the municipality of Myslovice. Four are made of cast iron and stand on stone pedestals; the fifth is made of wood and depicts Jesus Christ. The differences therefore concern both the materials and the depiction. Those exploring the crosses by theme can look for these features: the four iron symbols on stone, on the one hand, and the single wooden cross with its depiction of Christ, on the other. Thus, their specific design, as well as their number, is part of their significance to local history.

Zahrada u malíře: A Natural Garden with Visitor Restrictions

Zahrada u malíře represents a different facet from the architectural and religious history. It is the first and so far the only certified natural garden in the Klatovy area; there are four such gardens in total in the Plzeň Region. No chemical products, artificial fertilisers or peat are used in the garden’s management. Its certification and specific gardening practices give the natural-garden theme clear substance. At the same time, the garden’s concept comes with a practical limitation in 2026: it is temporarily closed to public visits, and parts of it are still being reconstructed. Before travelling, check whether public visits have resumed.

The Chimney of the Former Brickyard

The former brickmaking industry has also left a surviving trace in Myslovice: the chimney of a former brickyard. It serves as a symbolic reminder of the local production of high-quality bricks, which were made there primarily by the Kámenova family under the rule of Obytce. This feature leads from a visible structure to a specific story of local industry and production. Unlike the chapel, the focus here is not a dedication or date of construction, but the former production and its connection to a family name.

Explore Local History by Your Interests

Each feature offers a different focus: the chapel connects architectural history with a precisely described location, the crosses stand out for their materials and depictions, and the chimney recalls brick production. Zahrada u malíře adds a certified form of garden management to these themes. You can choose what interests you most about Myslovice and take into account the garden’s temporary closure to public visits in 2026 when planning your trip.
