A regular annual event in Eisenbrod is Skleněné městečko: The annual glass festival takes place on the third weekend of September, featuring glassmaking demonstrations and creative workshops for visitors.

Glass and Events

The glassmaking tradition is also reflected in the Minimuzeum skleněných betlémů Železný Brod. Around 80 glass nativity scenes from the collection of Alena Kortanová are currently on display there. The min museum also features a creative bead workshop where visitors can make their own jewellery, such as necklaces, bracelets or earrings.

The Muzeum a galerie firmy Detesk documents the development of artistic glassmaking in Železný Brod from around 1920 to the 1990s with more than 400 exhibits. In the sales rooms of LAMPGLAS, s. r. o., visitors can watch glass being made at a glassmaker’s burner.

The Železnobrodský jarmark takes place every year on the second weekend of June. Numerous stalls offer refreshments and traditional products.

Culture and History

The ethnographic exhibition of the Běliště is located in the Městské muzeum v Železném Brodě. The wooden building dates from 1807. The exhibition comprises nine rooms, each dedicated to an area of the history of Železný Brod and its immediate surroundings.

The Kostelík sv. Jana Nepomuckého Na Poušti was built in 1769 by Count Karel Josef Des Fours (1701–1775). Since 1997, the Svatojánská krojovaná pouť has taken place there every year in May. Several times a year, the Kostelík hosts exhibitions and concerts.

The Železnobrodská zvonice has a unique wooden construction consisting of two independent supporting structures: one supports the building’s outer shell, while the other supports the suspended bells.

Kostelní vršek is a remarkable late Baroque ensemble featuring the Church of Saint James the Elder from the second half of the 18th century, a single-storey rectory dating from 1723 and an ossuary from 1765.

The Železnobrodská radnice is a Neo-Renaissance building erected in 1890 to a design by the architect J. Zeyer. The left wing was added in 1909.
