Near České Budějovice on the stream of the Malše River in the foothills of Novohradské Hory there is situated a significant pilgrimage place. In 1622 the Jesuits came here from Český Krumlov and in 1948 their intention to build a new Loreto chapel with ambits and the Way of the Cross was approved. The Way of the Cross is a grand landscape composition of twenty five Stations, depicting the suffering and the death of Jesus Christ.

The oldest part of the pilgrimage complex ? Santa Casa, rounded by an ambit with 4 chapels in the corners ? was built in the 17th century. This simple building is a copy of the Italian Loreto chapel. The ambits are richly decorated by paintings with the motives of the Virgin Mary?s and Jesus Christ?s life, love paintings and sculptures from several pilgrimage places of Bohemia. In the ambits there are placed 4 altars with paintings and sculptures of saints, 4 confessionals, and a chapel decorated as an artificial cave.

In the surrounding of Římov within about 5 kilometres there are spread beautiful Passion chapels, depicting Jesus Christ and his suffering on his way to crucifixion. They were constructed since about 1650. 25 Stations are placed in the chapels and decorated both with paintings and sculptures. The Římov complex shows the way the Baroque style domesticated in Bohemia and became folk art style. The chapels are located in the countryside according to the traditional Way of the Cross in Jerusalem.
