Holiday Apartment in Horní Lhota – Culture and Landscape

In Horní Lhota, the parish church of St. Dionysius is a registered cultural monument. The surviving core of the parish church was built in 1700 on the site of a presumably older wooden church. Thus, exploring the locality begins with a specific building and a history dating back to the early modern period.

Culture

The present interior of the parish church is adorned with an altarpiece by J. Úprka. A water mill has also been preserved in the centre of Horní Lhota. Alongside the church, this provides further historic details in the local landscape.

Only minor foundation remains, as well as substantial ramparts with ditches, have survived from the ruins of Sehrad Castle. The ruins lie immediately north of and above Horní Lhota on the Vala spur. Sehradice Castle, originally called Engelsberk, was built sometime after the middle of the 13th century as an administrative centre of episcopal property.

Annual Fašank processions are part of the local tradition in Horní Lhota. Alongside the surviving buildings, this places a recurring element of local customs at the centre of attention.

Nature

Part of Horní Lhota lies within the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area. The Olše stream flows through the locality; its right-bank tributary is the Komoncový stream. The protected landscape area and the waterways thus form two clearly named geographical elements within the locality.

When comparing holiday apartments in Horní Lhota, check the exact location, accommodation type and occupancy on the respective offer pages. Also pay attention to included services, individual price components, as well as booking and cancellation conditions. The specific decision should be based on these details of the respective offer. Take your time to view the offers and compare the points that matter to you. It is also helpful to check the length of stay, any possible minimum stays and the additional costs listed for each offer. If several people with different needs are travelling together, the relevant points can be compared directly side by side. Always check the information in the specific offer and for the desired period before making your selection. This keeps the location, occupancy, services and costs clearly separate from one another. Also consider whether the stated occupancy corresponds to the number of people and which costs for the entire period are specifically listed in each offer.
