Planted in 1248, the Linden Tree of Kamenice nad Lipou has been standing for over 800 years, longer than the town itself has officially existed.
It’s more than just a tree.
It’s a living witness to wars, peace treaties, generations of families, and centuries of change.
Its name is woven into the town’s identity, “nad Lipou” meaning “above a linden tree.”
In an age where buildings rarely last a century, this tree is a quiet reminder of resilience, continuity, and rootedness.
Maybe that’s why places with such symbols feel different, because they remind us we’re part of something much older, and much bigger, than ourselves.
