Ceská poštovna na Snežce (Czech post at Snežka), a small building on the summit of the highest Czech mountain Snežka in Krkonoše Mts., serves as postal office, shelter, refreshment point and gift shop.

The highest elevated post office (called "Anežka") in the Czech Republic was opened in August 2008 on summit of Mt. Snežka (1603 m). Tourists can send letters or postcards, buy tourist stamps and refreshments, or find a shelter in case of strong winds or heavy rain. The lookout terrace offers a fabulous view of Poland and the Czech Republic.

The modern post-office was built from 20 000 wooden components. It is anchored on the top of Mt. Snežka with only twelve steel flanges. Its glass sheets are covered with hydraulically controlled wooden shutters that are adjustable - the glassy building may be changed in a wooden mountain chalet. The post-office was erected at the place where once the Ceská Bouda (chalet) was. This original structure was demolished in 2004.


Ceská poštovna Anežka je budova, navržená architekty Martinem Rajnišem a Patrikem Hoffmanem a postavená na ceské nejvyšší hore – Snežce. Tato poštovna má prideleno PSC 542 91.

Konstrukce Ceské poštovny je drevenou skládackou z 20 tisíc dílu. Stavba se terénu dotýká pouze dvanácti patkami (zabetonované ocelové profily). Plášt stavby je tvoren zdvojeným sklem a drevenými okenicemi, jejichž nastavením je možno Poštovnu promenit z moderní prosklené budovy v drevenou boudu, a prizpusobit ji tak aktuálním povetrnostním podmínkám. U severní strany Poštovny se tycí venkovní tocité schodište, které vede na vyhlídkovou terasu. Sklepy puvodní Ceské boudy byly zachovány, nyní slouží jako zázemí budovy. Budova byla 10. srpna 2007 vysvecena arcibiskupem Karlem Otcenáškem a otevrena prezidentem Václavem Klausem. Puvodním investorem a vlastníkem nové poštovny byla Jaroslava Skrbková, bývalá poštmistrová z Velké Úpy (která predtím s manželem koupila a v roce 1995 obnovila puvodní, starou poštovnu na Snežce). Od roku 2009 se snažila novou poštovnu prodat, zpocátku ji nabízela za 25 milionu Kc. Koncem roku 2011 ji koupil na úver za nezverejnenou cenu Milan Blaha z Moravské Trebové.
