Companionship in Louny
Gothic architecture of an unusually high standard for a town of 19,100 inhabitants makes Louny worth a detour along the Ohře river. The Church of St. Nicholas, rebuilt by royal architect Benedikt Rejt around 1520, has a late Gothic hall interior with net vaulting that ranks among the finest examples of its period in Bohemia. Rejt, better known for his work on Prague Castle's Vladislav Hall, applied similar ambition to this provincial commission.
Louny occupies the north bank of the Ohře in the Ústí nad Labem Region, roughly 60 kilometres northwest of Prague. The medieval town walls survive in sections, and the old town's street plan still follows its original fortified layout. Surrounding farmland produces hops and sugar beet on the fertile soils of the Ohře lowland, and the town serves as a market centre for the agricultural district.

The Louny region also includes the Panenský Týnec ruins, a 13th-century unfinished convent church that remains roofless after construction halted during the Hussite Wars.
