Discover Polerady

Polerady combines a documented history with prominent cultural monuments and clearly described landscape features. This creates a destination that can be explored through several themes: local history, places of remembrance, and nature exist as distinct facets side by side. Those looking for accommodation in Polerady may therefore want to consider the town particularly when they are seeking not only a place to stay, but also a distinct local character.

History and Cultural Traces in Polerady

The first written mention of Polerady dates back to 1290. At that time, Bohuslav z Hory bequeathed the village to the chapter deanery of St. Vitus in Prague. This date gives the local history a clear chronological reference and makes Polerady interesting to visitors who plan their trip not exclusively around current offerings, but also around historical contexts.

Polerady is also associated with František Josef Řezáč, an important native son of the village. He was a Czech Catholic priest, educator, writer, and politician. His various fields of activity lend a personal perspective to the local history and complement the early written mention with a well-known personality.

At a crossroads on the western edge of the village stands a Baroque wayside shrine. It is protected as an immovable cultural monument. Polerady therefore has a specific, identifiable historical site on the western edge of the municipality, which forms part of the village’s cultural heritage.

A map of the Karlín district office from 1906 also points to a special trace: northeast of Polerady, it shows square ramparts that no longer exist today. They may have been the remains of a Celtic sanctuary known in specialist literature as “Viereckschanzen.” The cautious wording is important here: this is a possible interpretation, not a confirmed surviving attraction.

Landscape, Trees, and Biocorridors

Three commemorative trees are among the notable natural and local features. A wych elm stands in the courtyard of house no. 42, while two small-leaved linden trees are located in front of house no. 31. The precise identification of the tree species and locations makes these details interesting for location-specific exploration as well.

The biocorridor project in Polerady forms a strip of land approximately 2.5 kilometers long to the west, southwest, and south of the village. For orientation purposes, this documents not only the approximate length but also the spatial direction. The project also includes four ponds with a total area of 1,040 m².

Another part of the landscape is the LBK6 ecological corridor. It follows the Poleradský potok approximately 800 meters northward from Polerady. Together with the biocorridor project, this creates a picture of landscape features extending in several directions from the village.
