Story

Lyuban grew from a small West Slavic settlement, probably founded in the 9th century. In the 10th century, these lands were conquered by Saxony. From 1002 to 1031, Luban was part of Poland, then of the Holy Roman Empire. In the 12th century, Frederick Barbarossa transferred the settlement to the Czech kings, under whose rule Luban turned into a major trading center and even received city rights in 1220.

In the Middle Ages, the center of the city was a square market with perpendicular streets leading to four gates. The first brewery was founded here in the 13th century. By the way, local beer was famous throughout Silesia. In the 14th century, Luban became part of the union of six Lusatian cities (Bautzen, Görlitz, Kamenets, Lubau and Zittau). However, twice, in 1427 and 1431, the Hussites completely destroyed the city. Although after that it was quickly restored.

Lyuban. Old city

In 1469 the city became part of Hungary, but already in 1490 it again became part of Bohemia (Czech Republic). Luban fell into decline after the Thirty Years' War and was transferred to Saxony in 1635. After the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, the Lusatian territories were annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia and after the Congress of Vienna were included in Silesia. In fact, Luban was part of Germany until the end of World War II.

Transport

The St. Petersburg - Moscow railway line runs through the city. All suburban electric trains passing through it stop at Lyuban station, as well as Lastochka electric trains heading to Bologoe, Veliky Novgorod, Staraya Russa, Valdai.

The following roads pass through the city:

• M10 (E 105) “Russia” (St. Petersburg - Moscow)
• 41A-004 (Pavlovo - Mga - Luga).

There are 9 suburban bus routes departing from Lyuban station[46]. Route No. 320 connects Lyuban with Tosno.

Attractions

Town Hall
The Town Hall is a historical building from the 16th century in the style of Renaissance architecture with a beautiful Baroque tower. It is a three-story rectangular building with a hip roof. On the main facade of the town hall there are two portals, which belong to the most interesting works of the Silesian Renaissance.

Nearby is the ancient Kramar Tower - a relic of the first town hall, built in the first half of the 13th century. The tower itself was most likely built in the 14th century. The town hall was damaged by a fire in 1487 and fell into disrepair. The building was then demolished. The demolition did not affect the tower around which the residential buildings were built.

City walls of Lyuban

Luban was surrounded by walls in the 14th century. They were built from basalt stone, which was quarried from nearby quarries. Initially, the city fortifications were surrounded by a moat. The double ring of walls contained the four main city gates. To this day, sections of the medieval city walls have been preserved on Podwale Street.

Bratskaya Tower

The Bratskaya Tower is a stone medieval tower from the 14th century and one of the main attractions of Lyuban. The tower was once part of the Brac City Gate, which was dismantled in the 19th century.

Salt House

The Salt House is an old barn from the 16th century, part of the city’s defensive wall complex. The building, originally conceived as a warehouse for salt and grain, was built in 1537-1539 on the initiative of the city council.

After being partially destroyed by fire in 1554, the building was extended at the end of the 17th century and then partially reconstructed in the 19th century, when it was adapted for use as a prison and fire station. Today the building is not used in any way.

Trinitarian Tower

The Trinitarian Tower is the belfry of the medieval Church of the Holy Trinity, the only thing that has survived from this ancient structure. The exact date of construction of the Church of the Holy Trinity is unknown, but it is assumed that it happened in the first half of the 13th century, most likely after Luban received city rights. In 1760, the church was destroyed by a strong fire and later demolished.

Church of the Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is an impressive neo-Gothic brick church built in the second half of the 19th century.

Church of the Virgin Mary

The Church of the Virgin Mary is a small ancient church founded in the 14th century and destroyed by the Hussites in 1427. The current building was built in 1452.

Demography
