Nihošovice offers several specific starting points for planning a trip: the protected castle grounds with their history as a fortress, individual historic buildings, and a regional cycling route that passes through the village.

Landscape and Location

The valley of the Peklov stream lies at an elevation of 440 metres and is the lowest point in the Nihošovice planning area. Another named elevation is Nedomína, at 574 metres within the cadastral area of Nihošovice. These two figures refer to different geographical points: the Peklov valley and Nedomína.

Castle Grounds and Building History

The protected grounds of Nihošovice Castle include the cellars of the former fortress, the front and rear gardens, and a perimeter wall with gates. The cellars are also associated with the medieval fortress, linking the present-day description of the castle grounds with their earlier building history. The castle was probably added to an older fortress between 1670 and 1675; this date range is therefore a probable estimate.

In addition to the cellars, the grounds are particularly valued for the building structures and the carpentry inside the building. The castle’s history thus encompasses more than the perimeter wall and gardens: its construction, interior finishes, and the cellars of the medieval fortress are also among its notable features. Visitors interested in historic architecture will find several distinct topics here, from the probable sequence of construction to the craftsmanship details.

Other Historic Buildings

A chapel dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene, dating from 1683, survives in Nihošovice. Another notable building is in the southeastern part of the village: farmstead No. 5, with a farmhouse Baroque gable and a niche dating from the mid-19th century. Compared with the castle grounds, the chapel and farmstead draw attention to individually identified buildings: in one case, a specific dedication and date; in the other, the shape of the gable and a niche.

Cycling Through the Region

The Prácheňsko na kole cycling route passes through Volyně, Nihošovice, and Čestice. This makes Nihošovice part of a named regional route. If you include the route in your trip plans, check the current route before setting out, as details may change.
