Dlouhá Lhota: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

The Church of Saint John the Evangelist in Dlouhá Lhota was founded in the 14th century. Its original architectural style was Gothic, and parts of the original masonry have been preserved. The church contains a carved winged altar dating from the 14th century: the Virgin Mary is depicted in the centre, with Saint John on the sides. The church tower still contains a bell dating from 1493.

History

The original fortress was burned down during the Thirty Years' War; a chateau was built in its place in the 17th century. Alterations made at the end of the 18th century gave the chateau its present-day Neoclassical character. It is privately owned and not open to the public.

Nature

An English park now stands on the site of a French garden laid out in the 18th century. In the upper part of the chateau park there is a faithful copy of a Neolithic pagan place of worship. The chateau park includes paths, historic benches, pavilions and swings. Visitors are invited to use the chateau sanctuary as a peaceful, meditative place.
