Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a brief overview of the historical and geographical characteristics of Luka. In particular, we give a detailed analysis of urban-geographic characteristics of the village in the late 19th century. We give detailed information about the parts of the village, homes, families and important urban facilities. The description of the general appearance of the village Luka in the late 19th century is given at the end. The work is based on so far unused sources from the late 19th century (land registry books, cadastral maps, topographic maps). We used the scant literature about Luka, as well as lists of the population of the study period. All are complemented by field research and interviews with local residents.
