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....
