Liptaň is home to the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The monumental Neo-Gothic church was built between 1866 and 1870 and has been protected as a historic monument since 3 May 1958.

History and Buildings

Six Czech members of the State Defence Guard were murdered there. Another historic building is the Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Liptaň, a rural stone church made of rubble stone with elements of late Baroque from the first half of the 19th century. The Osoblažská narrow-gauge railway was completed in 1898; on 14 December 1898, the first scheduled train reached Osoblaha.
