Jožef Plečnik in Hoedrščica
V Hotedršici se je leta 1835 rodil Andrej Plečnik, oče arhitekta Jožeta Plečnika. Tu se je izšolal za mizarja in tudi po odhodu ohranil stike s hotenjskimi sorodniki.
Tudi arhitekt Jože Plečnik je večkrat prihajal v Hotedršico. Obiskoval je svojega daljnega bratranca, mizarja Ivana Plečnika, in v njegovi delavnici naročal izdelavo pohištva, tudi zahtevnejšega z intarzijami.
Leta 1935 so po Plečnikovih načrtih v Hotedršici uredili prostor okoli cerkve in župnišča. Del načrta, vhod na pokopališče, pa je ostal nerealiziran. Vhodni stebri so zdaj vdelani v duhovniški grob.
Po mnenju nekaterih naj bi bil Jože Plečnik tudi avtor celotne ureditve prostora med cerkvijo, šolo in potokom, od katerega pa je danes ohranjen le del mostu in kip Janeza Nepomuka.
