Chrudim

Set along the Chrudimka River in eastern Bohemia, Chrudim is a town whose character is shaped by its position between the Elbe lowlands and the Iron Mountains uplands. Its compact historic centre centres on Ressel Square, lined with townhouses carrying Renaissance and Baroque details. The square is named for Chrudim-born Josef Ressel, an early developer of the ship’s propeller. The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary forms a major landmark, while the Museum of Puppet Culture, housed in the historic Mydlář House, reflects the enduring importance of puppetry in Czech culture.
