Village history and historical landmarks
The All Saints Church is a protected immovable cultural monument dating from the second half of the 17th century. Rural farmstead No. 7 is located in the centre of the Dlouhomilov village conservation area and was formerly a rychtář's estate.
The timeline reaches far back before these architectural landmarks. The area around the present-day site of Dlouhomilov was already inhabited at least as early as 3000 BC. A stone axe from the Neolithic period was found in Dlouhomilov.
A precisely dated milestone in the village's history is the memorial to the victims of the First and Second World Wars. It stands at a crossroads in the village below the All Saints Church and was ceremonially unveiled on 21 August 1921. The Empire-style statue of Saint John of Nepomuk also has a specific date: it was added in 1839. The area around the present-day site has been inhabited since at least 3000 BC. Along the timeline come the All Saints Church, dating from the second half of the 17th century; the Empire-style statue, added in 1839; and the war victims' memorial, ceremonially unveiled on 21 August 1921.
