Wow! This place is amazing. Absolutely breathtaking house, beautifully furnished and managed by Fabrice and Aurélien, set in acres of woodland. This place is a real gem - ideal for relaxing and enjoying the French countryside. I am hesitant to rave too much about this place as I would love to keep it as our little secret, but that would be unfair to the owners who have dedicated so much time and effort into making the chateau such a magical place. If you are in the area or passing through Champagne, this is a must!

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.
