Bteddine el-Loqch

[2] The word "El Loqch" (in spoken Lebanese, the pine tree pulp) was added in the 19th century by Emir Bashir Shihab II in order to differentiate the village from the town of Beit ed-Dine, capital of the Emirate of Mount Lebanon.[4] An ancient grave dating from the Roman Empire, also known as "الناووس", is located to the north east of the village.[6] Bteddine El Loqch has an ancient church dedicated to Saint Joseph and dating from the 19th century.The club managed to create a Public Library containing a large variety of historical, intellectual and literary value books.It also published the first edition of the magazine "الكتاب" (Al-Kitab) in July 1967 and organized many popular festivals and events in the Jezzine region.
