Geography


Poleň lies in the Švihov Highlands, in the valley of the Poleňka Stream. The highest point is the peak of Velký Bítov (713 metres (2,339 ft) above sea level) on the southern municipal border.


History


The first written mention of Poleň is in a document of Queen Kunigunde of Hohenstaufen from 1245, where Blažej of Poleň is recorded as a witness.[2]

The history of the village was then connected with the Pušperk Castle, which was first mentioned in 1266 and founded shortly before. It was conquered and destroyed before 1434. The castle was repaired between 1465 and 1473, but in 1473 it was demolished again and definitely became a ruin.[3]
