Chotesov

Among the settlements of the Plzeň Region, Chotěšov stands out for its former Premonstratensian convent. The community lies near the Radbuza River in western Bohemia, in a farming landscape between Plzeň and the Czech-German border. Founded in 1202, the convent became an important ecclesiastical estate whose extensive buildings still give the town its defining character. Emperor Joseph II dissolved the institution in 1782, yet the large monastic complex remains a notable reminder of Chotěšov’s long religious role.
