The small village Svatý Kámen nad Malší ("Sacrosanct Stone above the Malše river") lies about 3 km east of the small town Dolní Dvorište on the small river Tichá (Quiet Stream) - a tributary of the Malše river.
The pilgrimage Church of Our Lady of Snow stands here on the hill. It was built between 1653 - 1701. During its history it was closed and reopened several times (in 1907 and 1991). There was a monastery by the church, but it was closed in 1950 and later the building was removed totally.
The small Baroque chapel stands on the spring of healing water not far from the church.
