Lubno: Hotels and Accommodation

In Lubno, several clearly identified traces of the area’s history and settlements converge: a vanished fortress, memorial sites commemorating the 1866 war, marked trails, and Hrádek u Nechanic Chateau.

Culture

Hrádek u Nechanic Chateau was built between 1839 and 1857 in the Romantic Windsor Gothic style as a representative residence for the aristocratic Harrach family. The chateau includes an extensive English landscape park, which invites visitors to take a stroll. The Café Anny z Harrachu is located directly in the chateau building near the Chapel of St. Anne. During the season, seating is available indoors and outdoors; card payments are accepted.

Several guided tours are available to visitors at the chateau. They present the life of the aristocracy in reception rooms, private apartments, and guest rooms.

History

In the early history of Lubno, a fortress stood there. Its now-vanished castle site was located on the northeastern edge of the village along the Bystřice, before the stream was regulated. In the area of the former fortress site, deeply buried oak posts and medieval pottery have been found in recent times; the pottery is broadly dated to the 14th and 15th centuries.

The Vyšehrad locality lies on the opposite northern bank of the Bystřice and is associated with the former fortress of Lubno; today, it consists of meadows without any recognizable traces in the terrain. Before 1913, archaeologists J. L. Píč and L. Domečka found fragments of an old settlement at the Vyšehrad locality. This settlement is interpreted as a vanished early Slavic settlement or as the original location of, or part of, Lubno.

In front of the former Andrlova hospoda inn in Lubno stands a protected Baroque sandstone statue of Saint John the Baptist with a lamb. Next to it is a somewhat older masonry well. A memorial to the victims of the 1866 battle also stands in the centre of Lubno. At the bend toward Dolní Přím stands a stone bell tower with a crucifixion memorial.

Trails

The red-marked hiking trail runs via Hrádek and Jehlický vech to the edge of Lubno and continues to Nechanice. In Nechanice, it ends at Štrossovy sady, where graves from the 1866 war are located. As part of the reconstruction of the road between Lubno and Nechanice in 2009, a separate path for pedestrians and cyclists was built.

Landscape

The landscape in the Nechanicko region is predominantly flat, with some gently rolling areas, and is suitable for recreational cycling.
