Planá U Mariánských Lázní: Hotels and Accommodation

The Šlik legacy of Planá combines silver mining with coin minting; the mint was relocated to Planá after the mint in Jáchymov was closed.

Culture and History

The Ondřej Šlik Adit was excavated at the end of the 16th century during the heyday of silver mining in Planá and its surroundings. Its underground workings are just under 200 metres long.

The Church of St Peter and Paul is Planá’s oldest architectural monument and preserves 13th-century frescoes as well as a rare Romanesque portal with an arched frieze. Following extensive renovation, it now serves as a wedding and concert hall and, during the summer months, as a gallery of modern art.

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was originally built as a late Romanesque church in the second quarter of the 13th century, underwent structural development until the 20th century, and acquired much of its present form through two Baroque reconstruction phases in the 18th century. Together with the adjacent rectory, it has been protected as a cultural monument since 1958. A bell more than 500 years old hangs in the tower. The Galerie ve věži was established in 1995 in the previously unused tower of the Baroque Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

A section of Planá’s town fortifications is located on Na Příkopech Street behind house no. 131.
