Litovická tvrz

Nepristupna

Though transformed into a granary of a large farmyard and now dilapidated, this originally Gothic fort from the 14th century is still majestic and admirable! The first mention of Litovice appears on a document from 1266, which is named Řehník of Litovice, the oldest historically documented owner of the Litovický fortress. He was a chamberlain of Queen Kunhuta and King Přemysl Otakar II. His son John IV. of Dražice became the last bishop of Prague. The appearance of the fortress is basically preserved from that time and is a wonderful example of the French Gothic style in our territory, which was also created at once - without the usual construction stages. The best preserved Gothic state in the eastern cellars with the original cross vaults, which probably unfortunately you can not get, but you can enter the farmyard (the local dog barks, but fortunately do not bite) and see the entrance part of the fortress.

Interesting and unfortunately unavailable place. Possibility to see only from the road in an unclear place.Building fortress is located in a former agricultural cooperative.

That a medieval fortress became a grain warehouse is not the only case, for example Brandýs n. L. - Vrábí. But at least something back is much harder. And here it is a bishop's early Gothic fortress from around 1330. John of Dražice invited the builders to perhaps from France.
