The village of Slavětín is located eight kilometres east of Louny. The first record of Slavětín dates back from 1268 when it was assigned to Prague bishopric by Přemysl Otakar II. In the 14th century it was acquired by secular nobility. For almost 200 years Slavětín was in possession of the House of Házmburgs during whose reign art decoration of the Church of St Jakub Větší was created. This one-nave, originally Romanesque church is notable especially by its Gothic frescoes in the presbytary. From the Romanesque part from the 13th century, masonry remnants of the nave with six arched windows have been preserved. In the 14th century the church was extended by a presbytary with pointed windows. Paintings, restored in 1998 belonging to the best preserved complete sets in Bohemia, date back to the second half of the 1370s. The spire at the western facade of the church dates back from 1837, the church was restored in 1881 by J. Mocker. Next to the entrance into the church is Konstantin Biebl´s tomb. Nearby the church, valuable premises of a Baroque parish from between 1753 – 1759 has been preserved.

Peruc
The time-honoured agricultural municipality of Peruc is situated above a forested terrain dislocation falling into a wide valley of the closeby Ohře River. Long time ago this countryside became one of the most attractive parts of the entire extensive Louny region for tourists. Peruc has been taken into public awareness, above all, by a romantic legend concerning a meeting of Oldřich and Božena. Chronicler Kosmas was the first to record this romance at the beginning of the 12th century, followed by Dalimil and Václav Hájek of Libočany. Through history, lots of remarkable monuments have been left in Peruc. A dominant of the village green is the Church of SS Peter and Paul with an imposing arcade and valuable interior furnishings. A campanile (fork) and stone
way-side cross with no date have also been preserved. However, most sought-after is the roofed pseudo-Gothic Božena´s well, around which you can descend to an age-old, mighty Oldřich´s oak. The tree is c. 1000 years old with trunk circumference of 745 cm. Three-winged Rococo storeyed chateau, attracting visitors by an oval entrance hall with a staircase, statues and other decoration, is situated opposite the church. Another place of interest, worth mentioning, is Emil Filla´s Gallery, situated in the chateau grounds with the painter´s current art exhibition (Emil Filla – the Bohemian Uplands cycle).
