Dlouhá Lhota offers a range of attractions for a trip: the church’s architectural and artistic history, the history of the château and park, and aviation at the airport. When planning your days, first consider which of these topics interests you most.

Church: Gothic Origins and Works of Art

The Church of St. John the Evangelist was founded in the 14th century. Its original architectural style was Gothic; parts of the original masonry have been preserved, particularly in the presbytery.

The furnishings include a carved winged altar from the 14th century. The Virgin Mary is depicted in the centre, with St. John on the sides. The church tower also houses a bell dating from 1493. Those interested in sacred art and architectural history will find several different historical features in one place.

Château: Neoclassical Style, No Public Access

The history of Dlouhá Lhota Château begins with a fortress that was burned down during the Thirty Years’ War. A château was built in its place in the 17th century. Renovations at the end of the 18th century gave the building its present-day neoclassical character.

One important restriction to bear in mind when planning your visit: the château is privately owned and is not open to the public. Do not plan a public visit to the interior.

The Château Park

An English-style park now stands on the site of a French garden laid out in the 18th century. The château park has paths, historic benches, pavilions and swings.

There is also a faithful replica of a Neolithic pagan place of worship in the upper part of the park. It is a replica, not the original place of worship.

The Château Sanctuary

The Château Sanctuary invites visitors to use it as a peaceful, meditative place. If you would like to include a visit in your plans, check visiting arrangements in advance.

Airfield and Sightseeing Flights

Dlouhá Lhota Airport has a paved runway. The company Letiště Příbram offers sightseeing flights there for one to three people. A flight option that lets participants pilot the aircraft is also available. The two options offer different experiences: a sightseeing flight in a small group or a flying experience at the controls. Confirm availability before your trip.

The airfield is also of interest to people considering pilot training: the site is suitable for basic pilot training and obtaining a pilot’s licence. The paved runway complements the flight options described as part of the airport’s infrastructure.
