Jan Václav Príchovský of Príchovice (Jan Václav Príchovský z Príchovic; 1706-1781) was owner of the Stránov Chateau in the 18th century. Príchovšký of Príchovice (also written Przichowskzy z Przichowitz, Przychowsky z Przychowicz) was an old Czech noble family, coming from Príchovice near Preštice in West Bohemia.

Baroque Church of St. Wenceslas (Kostel sv. Václava) built in 1757, a part of Stránov Chateau complex in Jizerní Vtelno, was recently completely reconstructed from ruins. The Church (also known as the Chateau chapel) was built by the owner of the Nový Stránov chateau, Jan Václav Príchovský of Príchovice, in 1767. The construction was designed by architect Filip Heger. The fate of the Chateau complex was sealed in 1948, when it was confiscated to the last owner, Josef Šimonek. The church together with the farming part of the Chateau were then administered by the local Agricultural cooperative, which used the buildings without proper maintenance, and over time the farm buildings became ruins, several buildings disappeared completely and the church burnt down. When was Stránov Chateau complex returned to the the hands of Šimonek family in restitution in 2003, the re-established owner began renovation of the Chateau and at the same time the Church was completely reconstructed.
