Hostinné
Krkonoše Mountains
Hostinné is among the oldest towns located at the foot of the highest Czech mountains, the Krkonoše.
The town was founded during the reign of King Přemysl Otakar II due to the colonization of the upper stream of the Elbe River. The dominant feature in the square is the Renaissance town hall with monumental statues of giants. Every year on the first weekend in August the Portiuncula pilgrimage is held here.
Worth a visit is the Gallery of Ancient Art with a permanent exhibition of plaster casts of ancient sculptures, located in the newly renovated Franciscan monastery. This building was awarded the Building of the Year 2012, and at the same time you can find in it the newly opened City Museum and library.
