Historyedit
The first written mention of Letovice is from 1145.[2]
The landmark of the town is the Letovice Castle. The original castle from the 13th century was rebuilt into an early Baroque residence at the end of the 17th century. Today the castle is privately owned and gradually repaired with the aim of making it available to the public.[5]
