Litoboř is a municipality and village in Náchod District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 100 inhabitants.
Etymology
[edit]The name is derived from the personal name Litobor, meaning "Litobor's (court)".[2]
Geography
[edit]Litoboř is located about 11 kilometres (7 mi) northwest of Náchod and 29 km (18 mi) northeast of Hradec Králové. It lies in the Giant Mountains Foothills. The highest point is at 465 m (1,526 ft) above sea level. The village is situated along the stream Hluboký potok, which originates here.
History
[edit]The first written mention of Litoboř is from 1369, when there was a wooden fortress. In 1517, Litoboř ceased to be a separate estate and was annexed to the Rýzmburk estate. In 1534, when Jan IV of Pernštejn bought the estate, the fortress in Litoboř was already abandoned. From 1578, Litoboř was split into two parts with different owners. In 1613, one of the parts was annexed to the Náchod estate. From 1637, the entire Litoboř was part of the Náchod estate.[3]
