Churches of the Broumov region
For many centuries Broumov was once a very important cultural center enriched by artistic monuments and edifices, which were built during the administration of the Benedictine monks. This region is famous for its historical buildings and cultural treasures. In the towns of Broumov and Police nad Metuji are two Benedictine monasteries. In the village of Krinice there is typical original German folk architecture, there is a group of Baroque churches in Bezdekov, Bozanov, Broumov and Hermankovice, there are chapels in Hvezda, Martinkovice, Otovice, Ruprechtice, Sonov, Vernerovice and Viznov. The oldest wooden church in Bohemia is in the town of Broumov. During the trip to Broumov I had the unique opportunity to visit several churches around this region and even to see what inside.
