Culture and History

The wooden main altar in the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Loukovec bears life-size statues of Saint Adalbert and Saint Procopius. The church is accessible by prior arrangement.

The former Gothic fortress in Loukovec was converted into a Renaissance residence around 1600. The residence in Loukovec, which originated from the former Gothic fortress, was redesigned in the Baroque style at the end of the 17th century. The name of the Hradec farmstead also points to an earlier history: it suggests that a hillfort once stood there.
