The former Grafenried (Czech: Lučina) stood on a small hill near the German border (today the Untergrafenried border crossing) west of Nemanice. Grafenried also included the villages of Anger (Upor), Seeg (Pila), and Haselbach (Liskova). Around 800 people lived there. After the end of the Second World War, the German population was expelled from the border area, and the village, with all its buildings, was gradually razed. The Grafenried church of St. George still stood until the 1970s. Although it had the status of a monument, it was blown up and demolished. On the initiative of a former German resident of the community and some historians on the Czech side, the remains of the church were partially excavated and renovated in 2011. The search for traces was extended to the entire lost village and its districts.

The atrocities of the past are forgiven. Today, Czechs and Germans, as depicted on the poster at the "Place of Reconciliation", shake hands over the ruins of the lost villages. Together, they explore their history and discover how closely the fates of Bohemia and Germans were intertwined over many centuries.

From 1874, several rooms of the former castle (presumably built around 1580 by Georg Pelkhofer von Mosweng) were used as a three-class elementary school by Grafenried. These are the remains of the once stately building, which also housed the municipal office and a savings and loan association. In addition, there were four apartments for the teachers' families.

From the Untergrafenried border crossing, historic paths lead directly into the former, abandoned Czech village of Grafenried (Lučina). These are cross-border tours with the character of witnessing history.
