Horazdovice

Horažďovice has served as a market town in southwestern Bohemia since the 13th century. It stands on the Otava, a river historically associated with gold washing, while the compact old centre is arranged around Mírové Square. The Horažďovice château, developed from a Gothic fortress and later reshaped in the Renaissance, anchors the town’s historic fabric. Horažďovice is also the birthplace of violin pedagogue Otakar Ševčík, whose technical methods have influenced generations of musicians.
