Fara (Libáň) Parish house
The rectory in Lebanon is a baroque building with a descriptive number 1, situated in close proximity to the Church of the Holy Spirit in the village Libáň in Jičinsko in the Králové Hradec region. This monument-protected object represents an important example of baroque architecture, which was closely related in Czech countries to the recatonization and restoration of church administration after the Thirty Years War.
The creation of the building falls within the period after the 30-year war, when a number of representative parish houses were built. The purpose of these structures was to stress the importance of church administration in the municipalities. There are few direct reports about specific dates of construction or project authors, but the very appearance of the building clearly refers to the Baroque style.
The building consists of a two-storey rectangular structure whose facade is divided by seven window axes and central risalites. The roof is made up of a double mansard with branded skylights, covered with burnt bags of the type of bobcat. The rectangular windows are set in stone lining decorated with pockets and a rail. The ground floor has until today preserved the original bars made of looped rods.
The object is owned by the Roman Catholic parish - the dean Libáň. The building is listed on the list of real cultural monuments of the Czech Republic, which confirms its historical and architectural value.
Interesting details include a niche above the entrance. In this space, the painting of St. Wenceslas painted on the sheet is secondary. This small decoration completes the appearance of the facade and refers to traditional religious iconography.
The rectory in Lebanon remains a part of the church complex at the Holy Spirit church. For those interested in Baroque architecture and history of the church administration, it is a valuable proof of the building culture of its time. Visiting Lebanon offers the opportunity to see this monument in its authentic historical environment.

The building boasts a double Mansard roof, which is covered with burnt bags of beaver and decorated with decorated skylights.
This rectory has its roots in the 17th century, namely around 1700, when after the 30-year war the Baroque architecture also spread to Czech countries. Although her exact architect remains unknown, it is clear that it was built at a time when new stability and beauty in construction were sought after the war.
Look up at the facade with its broken windows and risalite. These elements not only add elegance to the building, but also reflect a baroque interest in symmetry and harmony. The interior of the rectory, although not detailed in this description, is probably as interesting as the external structure.
