Originally Gothic, later remodelled in Baroque style, the cemetery Church of St. Wenceslas with presbytery was founded in the ancient village of Lom between the 13th and the 14th centuries by Bavor III. At the same time a cemetery was opened here, the only one in Strakonice. The cemetery with its solid links to the Christian cult was also known as the Holy Field. The originally small space had to be gradually expanded up to its present size, for instance after the famine in the 18th century.
