Holašovice, Rural World Heritage Site in South Bohemia, Czech Republic.
The village contains 23 farmsteads with 120 buildings arranged in a U-shape around a broad central green space measuring 210 meters long.
Founded in 1263, Holašovice was owned by the Cistercian monastery of Vyšší Brod until 1848 and survived a devastating plague in 1520.
The buildings display South Bohemian Folk Baroque architecture with decorated gables, arched gates, and ornamental elements dating from the 18th century.
Visitors can explore the village through guided tours, which include access to preserved farmsteads, the chapel of St. John, and the local forge.
After World War II, the village remained empty for decades, preserving its medieval layout and traditional buildings until restoration began in 1990.
