Česká Lípa

Česká Lípa is a town in the Liberec Region in the northern part of the Czechia. It lies about 38 kilometres west of Liberec and 100 kilometres north of Prague. The town has about 37,000 inhabitants nowadays and was built near a ford on the Ploučnice river. The highest point of the municipal territory is Špičák with an altitude of 459 metres. The current territory of the town was permanently settled around the 13th century. The modern urban development of the town was influenced by industrial production and uranium mining in the region. Residential neighbourhoods consisting of large amounts of prefabricated housing were built on the outskirts, while the town centre was preserved and declared as an urban monument zone.

Many monuments remind us of the rich history of the city. For example the Lipý Water Castle, built in the 13th century, where many cultural events take place in its ruins today. Other sights include the former Augustinian Monastery, founded by Albrecht von Wallenstein in 1627, with the Loretan Chapel. There are also a number of churches, historic townhouses and the neo-renaissance town hall or the fountain on T. G. Masaryk Square from 1837, which is fully functional during summer even now.
