History and Culture

The first written mention of Chodouň dates back to 1271, when the village was mentioned as part of the Žebrák estate. Part of the village’s history is also connected with the composer Josef Poncar: a memorial plaque is located on the birthplace of the musician, who was born in Chodouň, and he composed the Chodouň polka. Chodouň is also notable for the unusual appearance of the pseudo-Romanesque Chapel of St. Ludmila.
