Bavory

Position

The wine municipality of Bavory is situated on the western edge of the Pálava, about 2 km northwest of Mikulov.

History

The municipality of Bavory was founded in the 13th century as a colony village of the Mikulov manor, to which it belonged until 1848. From time immemorial, the residents of Bavory have grown vines in the vineyards below the Pálava hills. Its agricultural and viticultural character has been preserved until the present day.

The local landmark is the Baroque Church of St. Catherine (Czech: Sv. Kateřina) from 1742, the tower was built in 1791. Monuments listed by the State also include the statue of St. John of Nepomuk (Czech: Sv. Jan Nepomucký), the chapel at the road from Mikulov to Brno and the wayside shrine at the cemetery.
