Lnáře: Discover History and Nature

Lnáře is a place where cultural history, regional tradition, and nature observation come together. If you would like to combine different experiences during your trip, the town offers opportunities for historical discoveries and for exploring the wider regional surroundings. You can therefore choose Lnáře as a destination where cultural themes and the landscape come together in the same trip. A visit to Lnáře can also be combined with an educational trail and other destinations in the nearer or wider regional surroundings.

Zámek and Local History

Zámek Lnáře is open to the public and offers an exhibition on the local tradition of fishpond management. This means that, alongside the historic site, a specific regional theme is at the heart of your visit. The exhibition combines a visit to Zámek with regional tradition and complements the architectural history with an independent focus.

The former monastery of the Discalced Augustinians in Lnáře was built between 1688 and 1693 according to plans by the architect G. B. Maderna, from the circle associated with the Černín family. The Church of the Holy Trinity in Lnáře was consecrated in December 1723. The monastery’s construction period and the consecration of the church thus represent two different historical stages in Lnáře. Together, the two buildings form a local history that unfolded over time.

Orientation and Exhibitions

Upon your arrival, the Tvrz Lnáře Information Centre provides information for arriving visitors. The Tvrz Lnáře Gallery presents changing exhibitions by regional artists in summer. In summer, this brings together architectural history, practical orientation, and changing regional art. You can combine a visit to the information centre with an exhibition or include the gallery as a separate cultural focus of your stay.

Educational Trail and Nature in the Surroundings

The historical “Okolím Lnář” educational trail is 4 km long and presents natural attractions. At 4 km, the trail can be included as a separate item in your daily itinerary; its length does not specify a particular walking time or level of difficulty. It complements the cultural themes with a landscape perspective. You can plan the route as the nature-oriented part of your stay or combine it with exploring the history of Lnáře.

In the immediate surroundings of Lnáře are Jezbyně [Lnáře], a hill, and Na Stráži [Tchořovice], also a hill. In the wider regional surroundings of Lnáře are Štěrbina and Nad Moráskem, both mountains. The Radomysl Mediumwave Radio Mast is also located there, a facility recorded as a ruin. The historical site “Lety u Písku. Památník holokaustu Romů a Sintů v Čechách” is likewise located in the wider regional surroundings of Lnáře. Hrad Zvíkov, a castle, also belongs to this regional area. The two hills and the two mountains create a contrast between nearby elevations and more distant mountain destinations. The ruin, the historical site, and the castle add their own thematic accents. This allows you to structure your stay around nature observation, local history, and other regional destinations.

Location for Planning Your Trip

Lnáře is located on the E 49 road, 8 km northwest of Blatná. The connection to Blatná gives you a geographical reference point when choosing accommodation and placing Lnáře within your travel plans. Several focal points are available for planning: Zámek, local history, the information centre, and the gallery in Lnáře, as well as the educational trail and hills, mountains, a ruin, a historical site, and a castle in the nearer or wider regional surroundings. When choosing your accommodation, you can consider which of these themes you would like to make the focus of your stay.
