Article Tour of Polná
Former important Moravian town
Between Jihlava and Havlíčkův Brod you will find the small picturesque town of Polná. It used to be one of the most important Moravian towns, but due to several fires its importance declined. Today you will find several interesting sights here, including a castle and a monumental church. Polná is definitely worth a stop.
Column with a sculptural group of the Holy Trinity
We start our tour of Polná on Hus Square with a beautiful Baroque sculptural group. You can park comfortably here.

We are slowly moving to the most impressive building in Polná – the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The local tower is 64 meters high. The church can be seen basically from everywhere
