Grandmother's Valley is closely connected with Czech literature. It is a small area in East Bohemia where the 19th-century Czech writer Božena Němcová lived as a child and where her best-known novel "Babička" or "Grandmother" was set. The valley includes not only a series of historic buildings such as Ratibořice chateau, the Old Bleaching-ground, the Water Mill, the Mangle, the Seigneurial Inn but also "The Grandmother" sculptural group by Otto Guttfreund nestled in a pleasant and peaceful landscape having a unique and calm atmosphere. The chateau in Ratibořice is known mainly thanks to the famous Czech literary work "Babička" (Grandmother) that is set around the chateau. The Baroque chateau with Empire style adaptations was the property of the countess Zaháňská.
