Libočany: Hotels and Accommodation

The Church of All Saints in Libočany is a single-nave church with a two-towered western façade and an richly decorated façade. Its vaults are covered with frescoes depicting scenes from the lives of the saints by J. V. Tschopper. The building was constructed from roughly hewn sandstone blocks; the blocks are arranged in regular horizontal courses and separated from one another by a narrow intermediate layer of red sandstone. The organ of the Church of All Saints has two manuals and thirteen stops and is considered the first known organ architecture with five cases in Czechia.
