Lubná: Hotels and Accommodation

In the historic core of Lubná, gable-fronted houses and agricultural farmsteads are uniquely preserved around a large oval central village square. Lubná lies in a gently undulating, agriculturally used landscape between the valley of the Rakovnický potok to the north and Senecká hora to the south.

Landscape and Waterways

The Černý potok rises in the territory of Lubná and is a right-bank tributary of the Rakovnický potok.

History and Architectural Heritage

The earliest written mention of Lubná refers to the place in 1057 as “Luben”. The Paleolithic settlement makes Lubná one of the most important Gravettian sites in the Czech lands.

The development of Lubná in the 19th century was shaped by the discovery of hard coal and, several decades later, slate, as well as by their gradual extraction. The Sv. Rocha shaft in Lubná was opened in 1821 as the first shaft. The Church of St. George is a rural church building with late Baroque elements, erected on the site of a medieval church dating from the 14th century.
