History & geography

History

The first written mention of Libáň is from 1340, when it was already referred to as a town. It belonged to the Staré Hrady estate and shared its owners. Libáň later lost the town status, but in 1574, it was again promoted to a town by Emperor Maximilian II.

Geography

Libáň is located about southwest of Jičín and northeast of Prague. It lies mostly in the Central Elbe Table. The northeastern part of the municipal territory belongs to the Jičín Uplands and includes the highest point of Libáň at above sea level. The stream Libáňský potok flows through the town. There are several fishponds around the town, the largest of which is Stejskal.
