We will meet with the founder of the Museum of Phillumeny, Helena Getterowa, and also with the Czech nobleman, Havel of Lemberk, who is credited for the founding of the city.

Havel of Lemberk was a Czech nobleman who was rewarded with the post of Kladsko castellan for his faithful service to King Václav I.

Helena Getterowa was a cultural and educational activist, a Kladsko area patriot and mainly an initiator of the establishment of the local Museum of Phillumeny, where she worked as a director for several years afterwards.

Havel from Lemberk was the first of the House of Lemberk. However, more known is his wife, Zdislava of Lemberk, who was canonized in 1995. As a married couple they most likely had four
children. For several years the Lemberks were recognized as the Lords of Kladsko, however, their land was later on confiscated.
