Dvojdům čp. 66 a 67 House
Dvojdům čp. 66 a 67 in FrýdlantA is a cultural monument that was created on the site of two previous buildings in the middle of the nineteenth century. It is located in the centre of the village in Liberecký kraj and its eastern facade keeps a fragment of the city fortification, probably walled up in modifications with the house No. 388.
The building originally served as a post office and its existence reflects urban changes in the village. It was created on the plots of demolished buildings, the exact date of construction being unknown. However, the historical context suggests that it was created at the time of the development of Frýdlant, when its urban structure changed. It was built in a triangular courtyard, where the eastern border forms part of the fortifications, walled into the facade during subsequent modifications.
The building is valuable because of the preserved fragment of the original fortification. According to the available data, the original gap between houses No 66 and No 388 is walled in the eastern facade. This detail represents a rare piece of medieval defence architecture that has been reflected in today's form.
The property fates of the object are not documented in detail. After the demise of the post office function he became part of a private property, while his monument value was recognised only later. Today it is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic and its state is maintained, although it is not accessible to the public.
A brick of fortifications is of particular importance, which resembles the medieval history of Frýdlant. This fragment is rare because most fortifications have been demolished or transformed. Dvojdům čp. 66 a 67 thus constitutes an important evidence of the development of the city and its cultural heritage.

Tips for visitors
The best time to visit double house No. 66 and 67 is in spring or autumn when the weather is pleasant and less visitors. In summer it can be hot and in winter some parts of the monument may be less accessible. In these periods it is also possible to observe interesting lighting conditions that illustrate the historical character of the building, especially at sunset.
Less crowds and pleasant conditions for inspection without overheating or freezing.
Parking is possible near the sights, but the exact location and availability is good to check before visiting. Transportation by car is the easiest way to get here. If you arrive by public transport, stop is nearby, but check the current connection in the traffic search engine. The village Frýdlant has good accessibility from surrounding cities, such as Liberec or Jablonec nad Nisou.
Frýdlant lies at the crossroads of important transport moves, which makes access easier.
When visiting, wear comfortable shoes because the monument is located in the historical part of the village and corridors or terrain can be uneven. I also recommend you take a map or navigation to help you navigate more easily. If you are planning to photograph, take a wide-angle lens as well, because some parts of the building are interesting from different angles.
History and architecture require attention and preparation for walking.
The best places for photography are the entrance part of the building and its eastern side, where there is a visible part of the city fortification. I recommend to photograph in natural light, for example in the morning or in the evening, when shadows are softer and the color of the building looks more alive. Inner spaces may also be interesting, but their accessibility depends on current conditions.
The eastern part with the fortification is unique and requires proper lighting for quality images.
In the vicinity of the monument there are few other attractions, but it is worth visiting the local surroundings of Frýdlant, especially the historical center of the village. If you have time, you can walk around the surrounding roads or visit nearby natural sites such as forests and parks nearby. All these activities are suitable for families with children who can discover nature and history simultaneously.
Frýdlant offers a combination of history and nature, ideal for family trips.
It is good for families with children to prepare some activity, such as painting or writing about what children have seen.

Search tours and activities →Seasonal recommendations
Spring: In the spring, the surroundings are waking up and the colors are getting more lively. The light is soft and pleasant for observing small elements on the historical building. I recommend arriving early in the morning when the air is fresh and people are not on the move yet. Clothes should be laminated because the wounds are usually cold and the afternoon can be nice and warm.
Summer: In the summer months, the sun is the strongest and the days are the longest, allowing long tours in bright light. The mood is alive, but because of the warmth and the main period, it can be more busy around the house. It is best to arrive immediately after opening to avoid the largest groups of visitors. Don't forget the light substances and plenty of fluids to freshen up.
Autumn: Autumn brings golden shades to the area and often morning fog, which gives the memory mysterious form. The light at sunset is very malleable and creates beautiful shadows. Prepare stronger shoes and warmer clothing because temperatures change quickly during the day. Ideal is a visit in the morning when the light is most stable.
Winter: Zimą is quiet in the region and the monument is very impressive in a freezing environment, especially when everything is covered with snow. Days are short, so plan a visit around noon to use the most daylight. A very warm jacket, scarf and hat are necessary. Also count on the fact that in this period the opening time may be shorter than in other times.
