Boček of Obřany He was a Bohemian nobleman who loved hunting and his family.
Once while he was hunting he came acrossa spring with cold fresh water.
Boček of Obřany After a few sips of refreshing water he fell asleep. In his dream he saw Virgin Mary who asked him to dig a well where the spring was. Boček took her advice and in 1252 he dug a well 32 metres deep with crystal-clear water which was said to have cured him when he once fell ill.
Together with his sons-in-law they founded amonastery called FonsBeataeMariaeVirginiswhich means the Well of Blissful Virgin Mary.
