Libušín: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

A settlement existed on the Libušín promontory in the 6th–7th century. The Libušín hillfort covered 12.3 hectares, making it one of the largest spur castles in Bohemia.

History

The early medieval Libušín hillfort had an acropolis and two outer baileys. Today, it is considered an important archaeological site.

Churches

Since the consecration of the new Church of St. Procopius in 1908, the Church of St. George on the hillfort has served as a pilgrimage and cemetery church. A pilgrimage to St. George is traditionally held here on the Sunday around St. George’s Day on 24 April.

The large Neo-Gothic Church of St. Procopius in Libušín was built in 1908 primarily for local schoolchildren. It is a single-nave Neo-Gothic building with a 32-metre-high tower, eleven cathedral-glass windows and five windows with figurative depictions. The Church of St. George and the wooden bell tower are open on the last Saturday of each month.

Nature and Activities

Part of the Libušín area lies within Džbán Nature Park; there are also three important landscape features there. An informative educational trail has been established in the Libušín hillfort area.

Dřín na Hradišti Libušín is a protected memorial tree, first designated on 2 March 2023. The Na Závini cycle path in Libušín has been completed and is ready for use by cyclists. The Jezírko Libušín natural swimming pool can be used for swimming during the summer months.

Events

The historical festival Bitva Libušín was founded in 1991. During the festival, the historical camp can be visited with the whole family; medieval ways of life and military camp life, the equipment and clothing of the fighters, historical crafts and culture, as well as historical craft products, are displayed or offered there.
