Economy[edit]

The municipality suffers from its location in Šluknov Hook at the periphery of the Czech Republic. The region has persistently high unemployment rate, low supply of services and poor quality of healthcare.[6]

The main landmark is the Church of Saints Simon and Jude, built in the Baroque style in 1691–1695. The tower was added in 1781.[7]

Lipová Castle was built in 1736–1738. Today it is a ruin. It is surrounded by a park.[8]
