Broumov, Historic town in Náchod District, Czech Republic

The town of Broumov spans across 22 square kilometers in a basin near the Czech-Polish border at an elevation of 395 meters.

Founded in 1256, Broumov received town privileges from King Ottokar II in 1275, enabling local drapers to produce and export cloth throughout Europe.

The Benedictine Monastery, Church of the Virgin Mary, and Church of Saint Wenceslaus form a collection of protected national cultural monuments in Broumov.

The information center at Mírové náměstí provides tourist services and guidance for exploring the town and its surrounding natural attractions.

The cemetery church of the Virgin Mary represents the oldest wooden sacred structure in the Czech Republic, while the monastery houses a copy of the Turin Shroud.
