Velká Polom: Hotels and Accommodation

Culture and Townscape

The Church of St. Wenceslas, whose foundation by the Přemyslid dynasty dates back to the late 13th century, and the parish ensemble are among the immovable cultural monuments in Velká Polom.

The ruin of the Milotička water fortress has been documented under this name since 1486; in 1573, it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style under the Pražmů z Bílkova family. The water fortress is an important archaeological site and consists of four single-storey wings enclosing a rectangular courtyard.

The Chapel v Hájku stands on the road between Velká Polom and Hrabyně near a small woodland called Hájek. It was commissioned in 1905 and built in 1906 by Josef Urbiš, a master builder from Mokré Lazce.

The Věžový vodojem water tower stands at the highest point of the upper part of the town; it shapes the characteristic panorama of Velká Polom.

Sport and Water

The sports complex in the eastern part of Velká Polom offers a football pitch and tennis courts; volleyball can be played outdoors as well as in the school gymnasium and sports hall. The pond near MŠ U Rákosníčka allows sport fishing.

The Jezdecký klub Velká Polom held show-jumping competitions next to the football pitch.
