Losiná: Hotels and Accommodation

Losiná probably has older, early feudal origins. The transfer of Losiná took place in 1327 under Jaroslav ze Štěnovic.

Culture and Townscape

The historic centre of Losiná consists of a long, spacious, street-like village square with a stream running through the middle. Several traditional farmsteads have been preserved on the village square; their entrance gates, both vaulted gates and newer pier gates, are very well preserved. On the road to Nebílovy stands a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk on an Ionic column; the year 1740 is inscribed on its pedestal.

Buildings and History

The Chapel of St. Anne was built in the second half of the 19th century and has been protected as a cultural monument since 6 October 2006. The small Neoclassical building has a square floor plan and a pyramid roof topped by a small bell tower. Architecturally, it is particularly valuable for its geometric design and balanced proportions as a strictly centrally symmetrical building.

On 11 October 1620, during the Thirty Years' War, the village of Losiná was raided by Hungarian cavalrymen serving the Bohemian estates. The Antonínská silver mine in the vicinity of Losiná was in operation for about fifty years from the end of the 17th century.
