We had an incredible wine tour with Sarah - a fantastic English speaking guide. Her passion for wine and knowledge about the chateaux were evident throughout the tour. Sarah is very knowledgeable, passionate and enthusiastic, and her explanations about the wine-making process and the history of the chateau were very interesting. The wine tastings were also great! Our 3 kids (aged 7, 9 and 11) loved the tour too! I highly recommend this tour! *** Only issue is that google maps gave us very wrong directions and it was not easy to find the right entrance

Their cellar network was astounding. So much history behind this property. Not forgetting the lovely view of the vineyards from their courtyard. Sarah was a great host at the tasting.

What a great experience me and my partner had. Our guide Sarah explained the tour in such detail, that girl needs to be given a promotion. She has big passion and love for the work she does. I learned so much about the history and the wine.I highly recommend ??

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
