History & geography

History

The first written mention of Liteň is from 1195. In the 16th century, it became property of the Wratislaw of Mitrovice family. Liteň was burned down by the Swedish army led by General Johan Banér in 1639, during the Thirty Years' War. In 1648, the Bubna of Litice family acquired Liteň. In the 18th century, Wratislaws of Mitrovice regained Liteň. The village was promoted to a market town in 1838 by Emperor Ferdinand I.

Geography

Liteň is located about southeast of Beroun and southwest of Prague. It lies in the Hořovice Uplands. The highest point is at above sea level. The stream Stříbrný potok flows through the northern part of the municipal territory, through Dolní Vlence and Běleč. Half of the Liteň's territory lies in the Bohemian Karst Protected Landscape Area.
