Litochovice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Litochovice combines a gently rolling, partly wooded hilly landscape with a remarkable rural architectural heritage. Forests, waterways and ponds complement the harmonious agricultural landscape characteristic of South Bohemia. Litochovice is home to three immovable cultural monuments listed in the Central List of Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic.

Culture

The rural farm complex Usedlost čp. 2 in Litochovice dates from the first half of the 19th century. It consists of a residential building, stables, a barn and a carriage house. The farm complex preserves a richly profiled volute gable and an adjoining gate dating from the period of peasant Baroque. Its heritage protection covers the entire property, including the land.

The manor house Správcovský dům čp. 1 was built in the first quarter of the 16th century as a small, unfortified aristocratic residence and belonged to the Prague Castle Chapter until 1850. Historic interiors and building elements have been preserved, including vaults, beam ceilings, floors, the roof structure, portals, doors and windows.

The farm complex Usedlost čp. 8 in Střítež was declared an immovable cultural monument in 1995. Its gable is considered the last surviving example in the village of the architecture typical of South Bohemia in the mid-19th century. The Chapel of Saint Florian stands in the village square of Litochovice. House No. 2 in Litochovice also features a façade painting depicting a landscape and a windmill. The Municipality of Litochovice received a plaque for the exemplary care and complete reconstruction of the memorial to those who fell in the First World War.
