Bohemian History

Some type of building in a valley, a church, a religious scene, and another church. All of this was taken in Bohemia in early 1900's. It was on a postcard sent from Bohemia to my Grandpa in U.S.A. Thanks, SK

Would like to know if these scenes were from Bohemia? Where at in Bohemia? And I'd like to know if these places might still be in the Czech Republic.Does anyone know what type of flowers these are, and what religion these churches are from.Thanks, SK

Date & Place: March 8, 1900
