In Lhotka, a Baroque pilgrimage chapel and several mills shape the town’s cultural character. Nature enthusiasts will find additional points of interest in the cadastral area and the municipality of Ostrovec-Lhotka. This lets you tailor your choice to your cultural and nature interests.

Chapel of St. Adalbert

The Chapel of St. Adalbert was built in 1734 and renovated in 2012. It is a Baroque, masonry pilgrimage chapel the size of a small church, located about 850 metres southwest of the village of Lhotka. Its designation as a pilgrimage chapel establishes its religious significance, while the size description also conveys the scale of the building. The chapel thus combines a precise location with a clear architectural and historical context.

Mills with different historical connections

The timber-built Ostrovecký (Zímův) Mill lies about 600 metres west of the town centre. The Kalousův Mill, also known as Papírna, was established in the early 19th century and is located at Ostrovec-Lhotka 30 in Lhotka. The Jankovský Mill adds a history of ownership within the municipality of Ostrovec-Lhotka: in 1714 it belonged to the Zbiroh estate, and before that to Podmokly in the Křivoklát estate. The names thus represent different historical perspectives: timber construction and a location west of the town centre, an alternative name and a period of origin, and an ownership history traced through estate affiliations.

Historical milestones

Lhotka was first mentioned in 1362; the small manor house in Lhotka burned down completely in 1888. Together with the construction of the chapel in 1734 and the establishment of the Kalousův Mill in the early 19th century, these dates span several centuries. In chronological order, the early mention of the village, sacred architecture, mill history and the manor house fire sit side by side. This chronology connects an early reference to the village with its building and ownership history, placing the historical themes in their respective periods.

Lhotka is part of the municipality of Ostrovec-Lhotka. The Lípa Nature Reserve lies in the northwestern part of the Ostrovec-Lhotka cadastral area; the Kohoutov National Nature Reserve is about four kilometres east of Ostrovec-Lhotka.
