Culture

The Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Polevsko was built in 1717–1718. It is a High Baroque building designed by Petr Pavel Columbani and is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. The glassmakers of Polevsko received guild privileges in 1683. Toward the end of the 17th century, Polevsko was one of the early centers of the glass trade; Czech glass was exported abroad by anonymous merchants or glassworks owners. In the center of Polevsko there is a contiguous ensemble of two-storey timbered houses serving as evidence of the local folk architecture. The property at Polevsko No. 175 is documented as the site of the Klarahütte glassworks and is associated with Karl Mühlbauer, Franz Vater, and the Sklářské družstvo Rudihuť.
