Church and architecture
The Church of St. Anne (“Kostel sv. Anny”) is a striking neo-Gothic building amid the historic buildings of Huštěnovice. It is a single-nave, oriented building with a rectangular floor plan. The recessed presbytery is complemented by an apse; there are two single-storey rectangular extensions on the north and south sides. The design gives the church a clearly defined architectural profile.
A glimpse of rural life
The Huštěnovice Museum (“Muzeum Huštěnovice”) displays objects used for farming, crafts and household tasks. The kitchen, living room, washroom and barn illustrate the rural homes and lives of the local population in the 1920s and 1930s. The rooms provide an everyday context for the collection: alongside work and crafts, domestic life is also in focus.
The church and museum offer different cultural experiences: those interested in architecture can admire the church’s neo-Gothic design, while the museum focuses on the everyday life and work of the local population in the 1920s and 1930s. Museum visits are available on Sundays from 3 to 5 p.m. from May to September, or by prior telephone arrangement. Check these seasonal opening times before your visit.
