A rare Late Baroque organ, a chapel bearing the year 1875, and an Art Nouveau monument give Bohušovice nad Ohří a clearly defined cultural profile. The landscape shaped by the Ohře, with views of the České středohoří, adds to it. Buildings, sculptures and landscape offer different perspectives on the town.

Church of St. Procopius and St. Nicholas

The Baroque Church of St. Procopius and St. Nicholas was built in 1716 by Josef Míka, the provost of Doksany, on the site of an older predecessor. It has been a cultural monument since 1958. The church houses a rare Late Baroque organ dating from the second half of the 18th century. The building and the instrument can be distinguished chronologically: the church was built at the beginning of the 18th century, while the organ dates from the second half of the same century. Thus, the histories of the building and the organ meet here, though they do not share the same period of origin.

St. Anne’s Chapel: Date and Interior

St. Anne’s Chapel stands below the railway embankment near a viaduct and bears the date 1875. Inside are three altar mensae with niches containing images of a guardian angel and the Holy Family. Its interior therefore differs from the Late Baroque organ in the church: at St. Anne’s, the altar mensae and images in the niches define the description, while at St. Procopius and St. Nicholas, the instrument stands out.

Two Monuments with Different Forms

In the centre of Bohušovice nad Ohří stands the Jan Hus Monument, an Art Nouveau work created in 1911 by the sculptor Ladislav Beneš. A larger-than-life sandstone figure strides atop a natural obelisk, flanked by two toppled ancient columns. The composition can be understood through these elements: the figure, obelisk and columns form clearly distinguishable parts of the monument.

The Baroque sculptural group Sousoší sv. Benedikta strikes a different note. Its three-part pedestal is decorated with reliefs and an inscription. It depicts St. Benedict and angels with a mitre and a raven carrying bread. In contrast to the Jan Hus Monument, the focus here is a religious group of figures and their attributes; the 1911 monument, by comparison, is described as an Art Nouveau sculpture featuring a single larger-than-life figure.

The Hospodářský dvůr Complex

The Hospodářský dvůr complex also adds to the historical picture of Bohušovice nad Ohří. It was remodelled or completely rebuilt in 1746–1747. Following a fire in 1824, the complex underwent extensive alteration. The information thus traces several construction phases: for the first period, remodelling and complete rebuilding remain alternatives, while the extensive alterations after the fire represent a later phase.

Landscape and Getting There

Bohušovice nad Ohří lies in a landscape shaped by the Ohře and offers views of the České středohoří. This adds a landscape focus to the cultural monuments and their varied forms and dates of origin. For travel, the railway station is a useful point of reference: as of 25 August 2026, it had a public car park and a nearby local bus stop. The station building or waiting area, as well as at least one platform, was wheelchair accessible. As facilities can change, check the latest information about the station before travelling.
