Lestkov: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Lestkov is located 11 km east of Planá on the road to Konstantinovy Lázně. Historical landmarks and protected landscapes shape the topics through which the locality can be explored in more detail.

History and townscape

The first written mention of Lestkov dates from 1257. In 1524, Lestkov was granted brewing rights, followed in 1527 by approval for two annual fairs.

The Church of St Procopius stands on a slightly elevated hill on the southwestern side of Lestkov’s elongated village square. During repair work, it was almost completely remodelled in the Baroque style. Following restoration work begun in 2003, the church is fully roofed. Medieval masonry has been preserved at the corners of the tower.

Lestkov is also home to a statue of St Anthony of Padua, which has been preserved as a protected monument. The protected rural property No. 84 in Lestkov includes a granary.
