Lipnice: Hotels and accommodations

Lipnice has the traditional layout of a South Bohemian village: rows of farmsteads with courtyards enclosed on all four sides are arranged around the large village square. The square in Lipnice is home to the square Chapel of the Holy Trinity, which dates from 1800. There are also several ponds on the large village square.

Culture and history

Lipnice features examples of South Bohemian folk architecture. The present appearance of the village was shaped by 18 farmsteads built after the Thirty Years' War. Lipnice was founded in an area that belonged to the Cistercian monastery of Zwettl (Světlé) in the 12th century.

The nobleman Mikuláš z Lipnice, known as Vícemil, is first mentioned in connection with Lipnice in 1378. The history of the legionnaire Petr Zíka is also linked to the village: he served in the Česká družina in Russia and fell on 2 July 1917 in the Battle of Zborov.

The Chapel of the Holy Trinity has an unusual square shape in South Bohemia; church buildings of this shape are not found there.
