Catacombs under Jesuit Church were created as a result of conversion work performed in the basements of original burghers´ houses that had stood there before the construction of the church.
The official date of the arrival of Jesuits in Klatovy was 11 March 1636. First, they built a mission station in Klatovy, and later a dormitory, a church and a seminary.
The former church is currently used for exhibiting modern art during summer season while the cloister building has served as a day hospital for disabled fellow-citizens since 2007.
They were silent witnesses of the economic expansion period, the most important one in this royal town´s history, brought about in the 16th century by hops cultivation and busy trade traffic along the way to Bavaria.
This building in Art Nouveau style was erected in the years 1905 – 1907 as the municipal saving bank, according to a design by the architect R. Štěch from Pilsner.
The Glass Pavilion in Klatovy, with its more than 500 exhibits, represents the largest European collection of the Lötz Glass Factory production accessible to the public.
Visitors can enjoy a beautiful view of the Šumava Mountains, whether from the viewing point behind the Church of St. Martin or from the observation tower on the hill.
Klenová Castle and Chateau is located on a hill of the same name 13 km west of the town of Klatovy in the Pilsen Region, about 2 km from the town of Janovice nad Úhlavou. Since 1964 it has been protected as a cultural monument.
