Holašovice is an exceptionally well-preserved Bohemian village in the Czech Republic. It is located approximately 15 kilometers to the west of České Budějovice, in the municipality of Jankov. The Blanský Forest is located to the south of the village.

Holašovice is an excellent example of a typical Bohemian village. It has 23 brick farmyards and 120 farm buildings. The farmyards face a central village green, with fish pond and chapel. Most of the buildings in Holašovice date from the 18th to the 20th century, and are constructed in what is known as the South Bohemian Folk Baroque style. The chapel of St John of Nepomuk located in the town centre was built in 1755.
