Here's another view of the square, with the castle, or Zamek in the back.

This is one of the old water pumps in town. The Czech Republic still has these all over the country, in both Bohemia and Moravia, in spite of their scarcity in many other developed countries. Even Prague still has them, although the water isn't fit to drink from all of them.

Here's another shot of the square in Telc.

This is the famous Baroque town square of Telc, which actually has some buildings dating back to the 16th Century.

In addition to the Lichtenburgs and the Luxembourgs, another famous person associated with Lipnice is Jaroslav Hasek, who completed (or failed to complete, actually) his most famous book THE GOOD SOLDIER SVEJK, while living here. His house buried somewhere in this block, as I couldn't get a better angle on it than this. Although he died in 1923 we attended a memorial service for him on this trip hosted by several of his fans, who wore Austrian-Czech army uniforms from World War I, as Hasek was a veteran both of World War I and the Russian Civil War, fighting on the Bolshevik side. More on this later....
