Plandry: Hotels and accommodations

Culture and history

Plandry is home to a Baroque pilgrimage complex with the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk, built between 1735 and 1739 on the symbolic ground plan of a Saint John’s star. The central square chapel is surrounded by an enclosing wall with five niche chapels. It is accessible during pilgrimages; organized groups can visit the chapel by prior telephone arrangement.

The Rantířovsko-Starohorský mining water canal, together with the mining and smelting complex, is an important testament to the medieval mining and processing of silver ore. On the ground, it appears as a simple channel running along the slope of the Jihlava valley.

The valley of the Bělokamenský potok was home to a smelting complex and a settlement of miners and ore processors. A short section of the streambed, approximately 10–15 m long, contains visible metallurgical slag indicating waterwheel-powered smelting furnaces.
