Chrudim, Historic town center in Chrudim, Czech Republic

Located at the base of the Iron Mountains at 240 meters elevation, Chrudim extends along both banks of the Chrudimka River in eastern Bohemia.

The town gained royal privileges in 1276 from King Ottokar II, who recognized its strategic position on the trade route connecting Prague with Moravia.

The Museum of Puppetry Culture in Mydlářovský House displays collections representing the rich tradition of Czech puppet theater and craftsmanship.

Four railway stations serve the municipality, which functions as an administrative center for the Chrudim District in the Pardubice Region.

Since 1951, the Loutkářská Chrudim Festival brings together puppet theater performers and enthusiasts, making it the longest-running puppetry festival globally.
