Loukovec is a municipality in the Okres Mladá Boleslav in the Czech Republic . It consists of the two villages Loukovec and Hubálov. The former noble estate Loukovec has been managed by the local agricultural cooperative since 1949, which also took over the baroque castle building. The community has 257 inhabitants (as of 2007).
geography
Loukovec is located in the north of the district on the bank of the Jizera , 7 kilometers northeast of the city of Mnichovo Hradiště and 10 kilometers west of Turnov . Neighboring towns are Koryta and Sovenice in the north, Mohelnice nad Jizerou in the west, Březina in the south and Loukov in the east. The R 10 expressway runs 2.5 kilometers east of the village.
history
Loukovec belonged to the High Middle Ages Knights of St. John . It was first mentioned in 1225 (according to other sources, 1215) when Bolemila ze Strakonic sold the village to the order. After 1237 it was part of the manor of the Johanniter-Kommende in Český Dub . The manor and the Church of the Holy Cross probably date from this time, but were only recorded in written sources later.
After the Hussite Wars , the monastic goods came into the possession of the nobility; from 1434 on, the Český Dub estate belonged to the Lords of Dauba . The Loukovec manor, together with Sovenice, Koryta and Hubálov, was pledged to Kryštof Šof von Helfenburg in 1470, returned to Linhart von Gutstein, owner of Český Dub, in 1473, but in 1499 it was finally separated from the goods of the former commander. The new lords of Wartemberg and Zvířetice built a Gothic fortress in the village. When Václav ze Svinař bought the estate in 1512, it was described as run-down.
From 1541 until the Thirty Years War Loukovec belonged to the Berka von Dubá . The fortress was redesigned in the Renaissance style at the beginning of the 17th century. After the Battle of the White Mountain , Aleš Berka von Dauba lost the goods that Wallenstein bought but returned to the previous owner as a fief. Despite a renewed confiscation after the invasion of Sweden in 1634, Aleš Berka from Dauba received a lifelong right to live on his former estate.
After his death in 1640, Rudolf Breda acquired Loukovec. The Bredas, whose headquarters were at Lemberk Castle and who were notorious for their tough crackdown on their subjects, converted the Loukovec fortress into a baroque castle at the end of the 17th century. In 1700 the entire estate was sold to Count Jan Rudolf von Morzino, and in 1725 by his son to Maria Margaretha von Waldstein, who merged Loukovec with the neighboring Svijany estate . In 1820 Franz Adam von Waldstein sold both goods to Karl Alain Rohan.
The Rohans settled on Sychrov and only used the castle as a farm building. The last renovations under Alain Rohan in 1910 served the purpose of adapting the stately building to its new use. In addition to agriculture, the estate also had a brick factory, a mill, a bakery and a textile factory.
Agricultural production has been operated by a cooperative since 1949 , which today farms 2615 hectares of land under the Sever Loukovec company . In addition to the original estate, Sever Loukovec also took over the land of the cooperative in neighboring Jivina , which had to file for bankruptcy in 1999. The focus is on dairy, cattle and poultry farming; forage crops, grain, sugar beet, rape and poppy seeds are grown in the fields. The cooperative's office and repair workshops are located in the former castle.
Community structure
In addition to Loukovec, the municipality also includes the village of Hubálov, which lies directly on the Jizera at a former ford. Both places have remained together since 1499, when the estate was separated from the Johanniter-Kommende.
