Loket

Loket has served as a royal town in western Bohemia since the 13th century. Its historic centre occupies a rocky spur almost enclosed by a broad bend of the Ohře River, a setting reflected in its Czech name, meaning “elbow”. Loket Castle dominates the riverbank, with a Romanesque rotunda and Gothic sections recalling its importance in the Bohemian crown lands. The Church of St Wenceslas, the compact square and surviving fortifications preserve the town’s medieval scale. Wooded country of the Slavkov Forest Protected Landscape Area begins nearby.
