Embark on the Hořice Audio Tour: Sculpted Stones and Sacred Stories

A colossal stone angel surveys Hořice from the shadow of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, whispering secrets carved by centuries of ambition and artistry.

Take this self-guided audio tour and unlock the backstreets, workshops, and legends that most travelers rush past. Each stop peels back layers of rebellion, scandal, and genius hiding beneath the town’s sleepy veneer.

Which explosive secret once shattered the peace at the town brewery? Was a master sculptor’s greatest creation really lost in a midnight blaze? And why do locals still argue over the true origins of the prized red sandstone adorning the Secondary School of Sculpture and Stonemasonry?

Drift through winding lanes where chisel and revolution collided. Experience Hořice’s majestic drama in stone and spirit, where every echo tells of whispered betrayals and silent triumphs.

Let the angel’s gaze draw you in. Begin your journey and discover what only the stones remember.
