Diana

History

A hunting mansion Diana (first mentioned in 1742) is situated in the settlement. The mansion, which is owned by the noble Kolowrat family, was named after the goddess of hunting. Its project is sometimes attributed to the architect Jan Santini Aichel.

Geography

Diana is located in the forests in the southern part of the municipality. The adjacent Diana Nature Reserve (since 1933) consists of one of the oldest and most valuable beech tree forests in the Upper Palatine Forest.
