Lidická hrušeň, Historical pear tree in Lidice, Czech Republic.

The Lidická hrušeň pear tree stands 10 meters tall near the main road leading to the Lidice Memorial, next to a well and a bridge crossing the stream.

This pear tree survived the destruction of Lidice village on June 10, 1942, when Nazi forces demolished the entire community, making it the only fruit tree to endure.

The tree represents a living memorial within the Lidice Memorial complex, connecting visitors to the events of World War II through its physical presence and documented history.

The tree remains protected under Czech conservation laws, with specific regulations prohibiting any damaging activities within a designated protection zone around its trunk.

Despite sustaining damage from the explosion that destroyed the St. Martin Church, the tree's wounded trunk and regenerated crown demonstrate its survival through the catastrophic events.
