Kamenná Lhota: Chapel, Village Green and Local History

• A mound-shaped monument to the victims of the First World War stands on the village green.
• The Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk is the village’s spiritual centre; the former chapel was replaced by a new one in 1969.
• A small pond in the upper part of the village green is mainly used as a bathing spot by younger children and was renovated in 1998.
• A listed cycling route from Ledeč nad Sázavou to Uhlířské Janovice passes through Kamenná Lhota.

The mound-shaped monument on the village green commemorates the victims of the First World War. Kamenná Lhota is first mentioned indirectly in 1380. Together, the monument and the early mention provide two different historical points of reference: one represents remembrance of the war victims, the other the area’s early history. The year refers to an indirect mention and should not be taken to mean the year the village was founded.

These details offer different kinds of insight into local history: the monument draws attention to a specific act of collective remembrance, while the year places the village in a historical timeline. The village green can therefore be seen as a point of interest for a visit, without conflating these two historical topics.

The Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk is the spiritual centre of Kamenná Lhota. The former chapel was replaced by a new one in 1969. Both the religious dedication and the transition from an old chapel to a new one are therefore part of the village’s history.

Another historical detail concerns the lower part of the village: a bell used to hang there from a lime tree. This former feature adds another point of reference to the story of the chapel. Those interested in culture and history will find more than a single building here: the chapel as a spiritual centre, the memorial site on the village green and the memory of the bell in the lower part of the village.

The small pond is in the upper part of the village green. It was renovated in 1998 and is mainly used as a bathing spot by younger children. This use gives travellers a specific point of reference if they are also considering access to water when choosing where to stay. However, it does not indicate what bathing conditions will be like on any given day. If you plan to swim, check the current situation at the pond in advance.

The pond adds a practical planning consideration to the historical points of interest: would you also like to go swimming during your stay? Its location in the upper part of the village green and its stated use can help put this into context; the current situation on site remains the deciding factor.

A listed cycling route runs from Ledeč nad Sázavou to Uhlířské Janovice and passes through Kamenná Lhota. This makes the village part of a specifically named connection between these two destinations. If you plan to use the route, check its current course before setting off. This lets you include the passage through the village in your plans without making assumptions about other routes.

This cycling connection is different from the chapel and monument: it relates to planning a route, while the other details provide cultural and historical context. When deciding how to visit, you can therefore consider whether you want to explore the village as part of a cycling trip or focus mainly on its local historical points of interest.
