Líbeznice is an ancient municipality with a history stretching back to the Middle Ages. Over time, this agricultural village, dominated by a church on a small hill, became the center of the surrounding area due to its advantageous location and good civic amenities. It maintains this position to this day.

The 20th century brought rapid development to the municipality, which unfortunately took a toll on the once-picturesque appearance of Líbeznice. A busy traffic artery was routed directly through the village square, and everything around it became cluttered with colorful advertisements. The core of the municipality lost its natural focal point as well as its dignity. In recent years, however, the local leadership, headed by Mayor Martin Kupka, has been working to restore it. A bypass was built around the village, the reconstruction of the square began, a new master plan was developed, and a series of minor interventions are being implemented to gradually cultivate the public space. Part of this effort included the reconstruction of the municipality's main administrative buildings, making the absolute most of an energy-efficiency insulation grant.

The municipal office is housed in an agglomeration of two former agricultural buildings that had been expanded in various ways over time to meet shifting needs. Positioned behind a bridge over the stream, it sat sunken out of view from passing traffic; until recently, it was difficult to recognize it as the administrative center of the village at all. Through the renovation, the town hall gained a new prominent feature—by raising the space once used for drying fire hoses—and thanks to a tower bearing the municipal coat of arms, it is now visible from afar. To further emphasize the town hall's function, the main building with the tower and the office entrances was redesigned into strict symmetry and finished with a vertically fluted facade. Conversely, the second building attached to the main one was restored to the appearance of a village cottage, featuring a rough-textured facade and asymmetrically arranged windows.

A similar principle was applied to the renovation of the service building adjacent to the town hall. This former residential estate building, generously constructed in the Neo-Renaissance style, had been remodeled by the Local National Committee (MNV) and expanded by an additional floor to accommodate various shops, small businesses, and offices servicing the wider region. Today, it houses a post office and the planning department, among other facilities. The reconstruction restored order and dignity to the building. Its prominent standing was reinforced by a clock tower aligned with the axis of the main road, though it is technically just an elevated parapet wall.

Locals have started nicknaming the project "The Three Towers of Líbeznice." The third tower refers to the church spire. And so we saw that we had managed to achieve the desired goal: to reaffirm the prominent status of the administrative buildings in the municipality. The church, the town hall, the post office.
