Ledce: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Ledce is located in the Džbán Nature Park, which was designated in 1994 and covers an area of 416 km². The nature park is predominantly hilly and rises to upland in some places.

Culture and History

The Malé asijské muzeum has been active in Ledce since 2005. On 8 December 2012, the memorial room of the municipality of Ledce and the former Šternberk spas was opened there. It documents the history and life of the municipality from the earliest times to the present day on 15 large panels, several smaller panels, and in display cases containing photographs, newspaper clippings, documents, and objects.

The museum also includes a library containing mainly Czech literature about Asia, as well as regional literature from the Slánsko region. In front of the museum building, visitors can view the interior of a traditional Mongolian yurt.

The settlement of Šternberk has been part of the municipality of Ledce for several centuries. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Martinic family established a spa in Šternberk after investigating the springs. A representative colonnade was built there at one of the springs.

The former fortress of Ledce stood at the site of Dvořiště between Ledce and the settlement of Šternberk. Its site in Ledce is classified as a Category ÚAN I archaeological site. Archaeological finds from the present-day municipal area of Ledce also provide evidence of prehistoric settlement.

Natural Environment

The surroundings of the former spa buildings of Šternberk extend partly into the Džbán Nature Park and the Smečno Nature Monument. The area is considered a pleasant place for a walk.

The Smečno Nature Monument protects the critically endangered hermit beetle (Osmoderma barnabita). Its presence was recently recorded in old hollow trees in the castle park and the adjoining avenue.
