Near the village of Blšany in the Podbořansko region, rescue archaeological research is underway of the first Gothic, then Baroque and finally completely extinct church of St. Wenceslas. It stood in the village of Nevechovice, which disappeared no later than the fourteenth century. The isolated pilgrimage church, which has an interesting history associated with St. Wenceslas, was demolished in the 1880s. In recent years, human skeletal remains from the surrounding cemetery were found here after plowing, so the local association, the Society for Monuments of the Podbořansko region, decided to initiate archaeological research and subsequently build an original place of worship in the place where the church's foundations were. Our research guide is Vojtěch Peksa, an archaeologist from the Institute of Archaeological Monuments of the Slovak Autonomous Community. Histerie v teren website: https://www.hister.cz/
