Lukavice: Hotels and Accommodation
Lukavice lies in the valley of the stream of the same name and along the road connecting Žamberk and Letohrad. Until 1950, Letohrad was called Kyšperk.
History and Culture
The Church of St. Philip and St. James in Lukavice is first documented in the parish register of the Archdiocese of Prague from 1344–1350. Its present appearance was created through additions in 1639, 1705 and 1721, as well as alterations to the tower in 1878.
The Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk dates from 1865 and is surrounded by six protected lime trees. The entrance gate to the original cemetery also refers to the history of the village: it dates from 1699 and is made of coarse-grained sandstone.
The “Muchova lípa” is associated with Alfons Mucha’s painting “Přísaha Omladiny pod Slovanskou lípou”, in which the unusual growth of the once-mighty tree was artistically depicted.
