Ledvice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Ledvice is largely situated in an industrial landscape shaped by Severočeské doly Chomutov and the Ledvice Power Plant. According to the regional tourism classification, the town belongs to the Krušné hory and Podkrušnohoří area.

History

The Church of St Mary was built in Ledvice in 1896 and demolished in 1964 as a result of mining. As coal mining developed in the region, many residents of Ledvice found employment in this sector.

Industrial Culture

The Ledvice Information Centre offers free guided tours focusing on traditional coal-fired power plant technology. Visitors can explore the interior of the power plant there via an interactive 3D screen. At the same time, the information centre presents the past, present and future of traditional energy technology.
