Chotoviny

Chotoviny is a municipality and village in Tábor District in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.

Chotoviny consists of 12 municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):[2] The name is derived from the personal name Chot, specifically from the expression Chotovy (chalupy), meaning "Chot's (cottages)".

The southern part of the municipal territory lies in the Tábor Uplands.

In the 19th century, it was reconstructed to its present Neo-Renaissance form and the adjacent castle park with an area of 22.5 hectares (56 acres) was founded.

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul was built originally in the Gothic style and was rebuilt in 1781–1786, when the Empire tomb of the Nádherný noble family in the style of a Doric temple was added.
