    Between Nova Ves and Primda are the ruins of the former church of Apollonia.
    In 1838 there was also a settlement on the site.
    The church was once a place of pilgrimage, with healing waters for eye ailments.

      In 1838, the settlement of St. Apollonia consisted of five houses and two churches. After the abolition of patrimonial rule, from 1850 St. Apollonia/Svatá Apolonia formed a district of the municipality of Molgau in the Pfraumberg and Pilsen district. From 1868 St. Apollonia belonged to the district of Tachau. The Czech place name Svatá Apolena was introduced in 1924. In 1930, 36 residents lived in four houses in the settlement belonging to the municipality of Molgau.
      Svatá Apolena (St. Apollonia) belonged to the Kingdom of Bohemia as part of Austria-Hungary until the end of the First World War in 1918. After the collapse of the dual monarchy, it belonged to Czechoslovakia. In the Munich Agreement, the town was added to the German Reich and belonged to the district of Tachau in the so-called Sudetenland until 1945. After World War II in 1945, the German residents were expelled on the basis of the Beneš decrees.
      In 1948 it was incorporated into Přimda (Praumberg). In the 1950s the place became extinct.
