All three buildings are connected by the Meissen noble family of Salhausen, which came to Bohemia at the beginning of the 16th century and developed significant building activities here in the spirit of the Saxon Renaissance. <\/p>\n Konojedsk\u00fd d\u016fm<\/strong> – in the vicinity of both castles, other noble residences were also built. At the same time as the church, Bed\u0159ich of Salhausen had other noble palaces built, such as the Starchedelovsk\u00fd d\u016fm, later called Ballamsk\u00fd, and a smaller palace in front of the church, originally called Dubansk\u00fd and later Konojedsk\u00fd d\u016fm. The greatest flourishing of Bene\u0161ov n. Pl. is associated with the Sallhausen family. <\/p>\n Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary<\/strong> \u2013 built between 1483 and 1557 on a small hill in the northeastern part of the city. The late Gothic three-nave church with a longitudinally extending presbytery also included an older watchtower, part of the original city walls. <\/p>\n Marian Column – Baroque sandstone, standing on a prismatic base.

The city was devastated several times in history by a devastating fire, the inhabitants were decimated by plagues, and to make matters worse, there were armies that occupied the city several times in a row, allowed themselves to be fed by the local settlers and destroyed whatever they could find. However, the human spirit is unbreakable and after each such blow, the city got back on its feet to give today’s residents a home and visitors an interesting excursion into times long gone by. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":92237,"template":"","region":[353],"class_list":["post-92236","regionalni","type-regionalni","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","region-cities-and-towns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/regionalni\/92236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/regionalni"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/regionalni"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=92236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} <\/h3>\n
