Ledce: Hotels and Accommodations

Nature

Chropotínský háj is located in the cadastral areas of Očelice and Ledce. The nature reserve was first designated on March 14, 1955. It protects a remnant of a Hercynian oak-hornbeam forest, which in places transitions into an ash-alder alluvial forest with a species-rich herbaceous layer. It also protects populations of the regionally rare longhorn beetle Trichoferus pallidus and other xylobiontic insect species.

The Dědina, also called Zlatý potok, flows through Ledce. The Ledecké bory forests extend south of Ledce.

Culture

The Church of Saint Mary Magdalene in Ledce is one of the municipality's three listed religious monuments.

The Evangelical Reformed congregation in Klášter nad Dědinou was founded in 1782. The Protestant church was ceremonially consecrated on October 16, 1785. After the foundation stone was laid, it was built within half a year by the congregation itself, with a shingle roof. The construction of a tower for the church was approved in 1855.

The filial Church of Saint John the Baptist is associated with Ledce and Klášter nad Dědinou. It is a Renaissance building from the late 16th century. Its masonry contains stones from the former Cistercian monastery of Svaté Pole. The former monastery was destroyed by fire in 1420 at the beginning of the Hussite period.
