| Subject of the stamps: | The village of Holašovice is first mentioned in 1292, when it became the property of the Cistercian monastery in Vyšší Brod. Most of the largely gabled buildings, in the South Bohemian vernacular baroque style, were built in 1846 - 86, but the mediaeval layout of the village was retained. One of the best complexes of popular rural architecture is built on a regular gothic floor plan. In 1998, the village was added to the UNESCO world cultural and natural heritage list thanks to its unique character and charm. | |
