region of Horňácko dates back to 1046 which makes Louka the oldest village
in the region. A former fortress undermined by a lot of secret passages
leading to the fortress in Hluk has been rebuilt into a castle. A chapel
with a belfry from 18th century decorated with ornaments typical in the
Slovácko region is an example of folk Baroque architecture. Between Louka
and neighbouring Lipov in the height of 20m there is a 209m long viaduct

nad Moravou and Myjava. A Slavonic burial-ground
was found there when building the railway. Near Louka there is a natural
