History

The former chapel, now Penzion U Jelena, is one of the two monuments of local significance in Nová Pláň. It was designed in the Neo-Gothic style and had a prismatic tower. The school building attached to the former Neo-Gothic chapel was converted into today’s Penzion U Jelena in 1990–1991.

The copper hammer mill around which Nová Pláň developed was founded in 1640. In the second half of the 17th century, a manufactory for copper goods and copper utensils was established there.

During the construction of the Slezská Harta Reservoir, most of the original buildings in Nová Pláň were flooded; only the southern part of the settlement was preserved. After being buried during the construction of the reservoir, Nová Pláň’s healing mineral spring re-emerged at the same site. Even in earlier times, visitors came to Nová Pláň from the surrounding area because of the mineral spring’s healing properties.
