Baroque Festival Marianska Tynice in Mariánská Týnice
Marianska Tynice, a pilgrimage site near Kralovice tracing to a twelfth-century founding legend and granted a papal indulgence in 1186, developed its Baroque Church of the Annunciation between 1711 and 1762. The Baroque Festival brings music, theatre and dance to the site each summer as part of a wider West Bohemian Summer Baroque circuit that also includes Chotesov Monastery and Klatovy, though specific festival founding details and attendance figures are thin in available sources.
Marianska Tynice, the pilgrimage site near Kralovice hosting this festival, traces its origins to the twelfth century, when, according to the site's founding legend, a sick and childless local man named Roman promised to build a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary if he recovered from his illness; he did recover, and he kept his promise, establishing what would become the oldest pilgrimage site in western Bohemia.
