Plaňany: Hotels and Accommodations

Culture

The preserved Romanesque Church of the Annunciation in Plaňany dates from the 12th century. In 1937, masonry from the 10th century was discovered beneath the church floor, possibly belonging to an original rotunda.

The Church of St. John the Baptist in Plaňany is a Neo-Gothic church from the late Historicist period. Completed in 1913, the church became the new landmark of Plaňany. Its slender, distinctly elevated prismatic tower forms a prominent landmark of Plaňany and an unmistakable point of reference in the surrounding landscape.

The synagogue in Plaňany was built between 1858 and 1861 and served as a prayer house of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church from 1926 onward. Husův sbor is located in the former synagogue.

Mírkovská tvrz in Plaňany was converted into and expanded as a granary in the 1740s; it has essentially been preserved in this form to the present day. The southern part of Mírkovská tvrz contains preserved original Renaissance masonry from the residential palace of the fortress, extending up to the height of the window sills on the upper floor.
