Fourteen Must See Places in Liberec Czech Republic

November 8, 2018 by Albion

Czech Republic has many different regions and I had the opportunity to explore Liberec. Liberec is the second smallest region in the country, but it is a major cultural destination well-known for local glass and jewelry along with sandstone rocks and a mountain range. Liberec is found in the north of the country and shares borders with Germany and Poland. There’s so much to see and do in the region, but I’ve narrowed it down to Fourteen Must See Places in Liberec Czech Republic.

Sychrov Chateau

Sychrov Chateau is best known as the home of the Rohans– a noble family from the Brittany region of France. The history of the site dates back to the 15th century, but the Rohans commissioned the neo-Gothic style in the mid-1800s that you can tour today. Sychrov houses many collections, including French portrait paintings and painted Bohemian glass. The chateau also boasts an English park. You are able to tour through much of the chateau and grounds.

Liberec is the fifth largest city in Czech Republic and the capital of the Liberec Region. The Town Hall not only hosts government meeting, it is becoming a set piece for movies.

Pačinek Glass

It’s not often that you get the chance to see a Master glass maker in action. Jiri Pacinek has been working with glass since 1990 and has worked alongside many well-known glass artists. His work can be found in both private and design company collections. The garden around the glassworks is filled with colourful glass sculptures and the display room upstairs has examples of his work, ranging from bowls and vases to elaborate chandeliers.

Sloup v Čechách and Na Stráži

The Rock Castle Sloup isn’t actually a castle, but is referred to as such by tourists and locals. The village dates back to at least 1352 and is named for the giant sandstone formation, which provided safety for locals when in danger. There are chambers dug into the rock for you to explore. A short hike across the way takes you to the Forest Theater, which showcases summer theatre. At the top of the mountain is a wooden lookout tower, Na Stráži, which offers views of Sloup and the surrounding areas.

Jilemnice Chateau and town

Jilemnice is located a mountainous area of the west foothills of Krkonoše. It was established at the start of the 14th century. Its secluded location seems to have both caused it to develop at a slower rate than other towns and protected it against serious war damage. The best known street in town is Zvedavá, or Curious Street. The houses are of folk architecture and situated in a way that each has a view of the square. Jilemnice Chateau now houses the Krkonoše Museum and displays rarities of the region.
