Discover Polom U Hranic: Ponds, Chapel and Local History

Polom U Hranic can be identified by several specific local features: its local pond system, a railway station on line 271 and historic sites. The landscape, religious history, industrial heritage and public spaces each offer a different perspective. Before your trip, you can consider whether you want your stay to focus more on local history, the landscape or arriving by train.

Getting there by train

Polom station is on railway line 271. Access to the station building or shelter is step-free.

Pond system and landscape

The local pond system includes Horní Polom, Dolní Polom and Sádka. The three bodies of water create a distinct connection to the landscape alongside the historic buildings. If you would also like to take the landscape into account when choosing a destination, these three names are among Polom’s specific local features.

Park and fruit-tree avenue

Parčík Republiky was established in 2018. A monument commemorating the founding of Czechoslovakia stands at its center. The amenities include benches, a pergola, a fruit-tree avenue and a drinking-water point. Cyclists often use the park as a stopover. The year 2018 dates the park’s establishment; the monument commemorates the founding of Czechoslovakia.

The Cestička k lesu fruit-tree avenue, created with public participation, leads towards Lučice. It offers a different perspective from Parčík Republiky: the avenue is characterized by its community-led creation and its direction, while the park is defined by its monument and amenities.

Chapel and historic sites

The Chapel of St. Catherine dates from 1846 and has Baroque organs from the workshop of Johann Neusser. A cross dating from 1852 stands beside the chapel. The years are clearly associated with each feature: 1846 refers to the chapel, 1852 to the cross; the cross therefore dates from six years later. The two details about the organs complement each other: Baroque describes the style, and Johann Neusser the workshop.

The Cihelny Polom complex includes an original historic kiln. This industrial feature complements the religious history with a technical heritage site. In the Middle Ages, Polom’s hereditary bailiff protected the so-called Amber Road. This role broadens the perspective from individual buildings to a historical protective duty.
