Travel with EasyDayTrip and discover Chrudim
Czech Republic

Dating back to the 13th century, Chrudim quickly gained a reputation of a dowry town for the Bohemian Queens. Its repute got a noble taste, as it was known as the ‘royal town’. With the First industrial revolution and a seemingly small shoe factory, the population flourished beyond the historical borders of a small town from the middle ages. It was soon declared the region’s Athens due to the number of schools and cultural events held there. There is still a neo-Gothic theme to the predominantly medieval Ressel’s Square and the center’s Church, along with a Baroque plague monument to add some of its flare to this already interesting mixture of styles and cultures. There is also a rather unique puppet museum that is held under the UNESCO’s protection as an absolute must-see entertainment for all passing visitors.
