At the edge of Tábor, on a hill above the curve of the Lužnice River stands the impressive building of the pilgrimage church in Klokoty. The present Baroque pilgrimage premises with the Church of Assumption of Virgin Mary was founded around 1700 and is located on the site of an older church from the beginning of the 13th century. The church itself, the project of which was most probably based on the work of one of the most talented architects of his time, Jan Santini, was completed as early as in 1714. The
cloisters and chapel were later added to the church and created an extraordinary set of buildings with the ground plan in the shape of a double cross. The pilgrimage church still serves its original purpose. From the beginning, the place has been associated with pilgrimages to the Virgin Mary, and the main pilgrimage takes place on the Saturday closest to the date of the Assumption of Virgin Mary (15 August). In 1816, a school that currently serves as the Emauzy parsonage was built next to the pilgrimage site. The chapel U dobré vody is located near the church where, according to legend, the Virgin Mary appeared before children.
