The reborn Libušín welcomed visitors for the first time. There is a huge interest in tours

“You see, there are an awful lot of people here. We go sightseeing closely one after the other. We close the door between the dining room so that we don’t interrupt and the groups don’t connect with each other, “one of the guides smiled and continued her explanation.

She pointed out, for example, that Libušín does not have the same colors as before the fire. “Some people blame us, but we explain to them that they are the original colors of Libušín, as it was created in 1899 by the architect Dušan Jurkovič. We found out by researching parts of the burnt Libušín, “the guide explained to the first visitors.

People mainly asked whether something original remained in Libušín, whether something was saved from the fire. They learned yes. They were also interested in when the restaurant will start operating here. It is to open here in October at the latest.

“It is beautiful. I confess that I could not sleep. My daughter and I ordered a tour for a tour. I received it as a birthday present, “smiled senior Jiří Fuciman from Rožnov pod Radhoštěm, who has been going to Pustevny since he was a child. “I’m glad that Libušín was saved,” the man said.

Some of the original elements from the burnt-out Libušín have also been preserved.

“It simply came to our notice then. The hermitages were sad without Libusin. Jurkovič would definitely be happy, “laughed 50-year-old Hana Purmenská, who came to see the Wallachian jewel with her granddaughters from Ostrava.

He received the highest possible protection

The renewed Libušín, which has been a national cultural monument since 1995, was also blessed on Thursday by the Archbishop of Olomouc, Jan Graubner. The director of the National Open-Air Museum Jindřich Ondruš Práv told that throughout August Libušín would be open to people so that they could see it. “People helped save him, he deserves to be seen. After all, 11 million crowns were raised for its construction. Companies and institutions also got involved, “Ondruš reminded, adding that two years of preparation and four years of work have now culminated.

He added that in September the building will be handed over to the tenant, so that the restaurant operation will be resumed at the beginning of October at the latest. According to Ondruš, the protection of the building is now the highest possible, Libušín has a modern fire extinguishing system that uses water, which is why an underground fire tank with a capacity of 250 cubic meters was built. In the most valuable part of Libušín, the dining room, a system using gas extinguishing is installed, due to the paintings, the fragmentation of the ceiling and the uniqueness of the building.

The total costs for the restoration of Libušín were 117.5 million crowns. Guides will be in Libušín every day except Monday from 10 am to 5 pm.
