Brewery Polná, pivovar a kulturní památka České republiky v obci Polná
Brewery Polná is a Czech cultural monument rebuilt between 1863 and 1865 after a fire destroyed the previous structure. The complex includes a courtyard, restaurant, wellness area with sauna, and accommodation with modern apartments decorated in historic style.
Brewing in Polná began in 1442 when the local lord granted brewing rights to the town. The current building was constructed between 1863 and 1865 following a fire and underwent modernization until 1905, before being nationalized in 1948 and ceasing beer production in 1950.
The name comes from the town of Polná, where brewing traditions stretch back centuries. The courtyard with its green plants and cozy corners serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors share meals and drinks in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
The site is located in central Polná and easily accessible on foot, with spacious courtyards for relaxation. Dogs are welcome, the place is family-friendly with overnight accommodation in the complex, and it is open from late morning until evening.
The famous Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal lived in the brewery complex as a child from 1917 to 1919 and later drew on these memories for his literary works. This connection links the site to Czech literary history beyond its brewing heritage.
