Holany (German: Hohlen) is a market town in Česká Lípa District in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic.
The southern part of the municipal territory lies in the Kokořínsko – Máchův kraj Protected Landscape Area.
During the rule of King Charles IV (1346–1378), Holany was promoted to a market town.
Holany was a market centre until the beginning of the 19th century, but after the construction of new roads it lost its advantageous location and importance.
[3][4] The I/15 road (the section from Česká Lípa to Litoměřice) passes through the market town.
