On the occasion of the Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day, a new Havel's Place was unveiled. The mayor of Lovosice, Vojtěch Krejčí, spoke about the significance of the value of dialogue and understanding, which the Place promotes. It is located between the city hall and the Pfannschmidt villa. 

Havel’s Place is a memorial dedicated to Václav Havel. It comprises two chairs linked by a round table with a tree growing through its centre. The installation of Havel’s Places is a worldwide project initiated by the Czech ambassador to the US, Petr Gandalovič, and the architect and designer Bořek Šípek. The aim of the project, which is coordinated and implemented by the Václav Havel Library, is to create a network of places in public spaces that can contribute to meeting and holding genuine dialogue – places where it will be possible to have discussions and reflect in the spirit of the ideals and philosophy of Václav Havel.
