Description
Polná CastlePolná Castle was built approximately in 1320 on a point above the junction of the Ã
 Ã Ãâàlapanka river and the Ochozský brook. It was rebuilt to a large gothic castle. In the 15th century its rampart was extended incl. three ponds; one of them, Peklo, meaning Hell, exists to date. After a fire in 1584 the castle was reconstructed to a renaissance chateau. In 1645 and 1647 it was burned down by Swedes. After a vast fire in 1794 it started to wasteaway. In recent days the chateau was repaired and today it serves as a branch of the VysoÃâÃâÃÂina Museum.
