On the basis of structural form comparison of the earliest phase of the Early Medieval church belonging to the collegiate chapter at Walbeck, it is possible to state that precisely this building is the direct model for the church built on the inner bailey of the Libice stronghold. The reliable dating of Walbeck church enables us to imply that the Libice church and its architectural form, as was documented by archaeological excavations, surely relates to the Slavnik family power activities in the second part of the 10th century. The chapter of Walbeck represents a private foundation of the Count of Walbeck, and the chapter church was also used as this family's cemetery. Yet, the question whether the Libice church is, in fact, only a copy of certain religious building or real manifestation of the so-called imitatio imperii including its spiritual dimensions as was the case of private foundations in the Early Medieval Saxony still remains unsolved.
