Pribyslav is situated in the west of Czech-Moravian Highlands in 483m above the sea level.
Pribyslav systematically takes care of its historical monuments. The oldest building, which is the characteristic dominant of the town, is its gothic tower, constructed in 1497. Next to it is a baroque church of St. John the Baptist, consecrated on July 24, 1753.
===============================================================
S výstavbou pribyslavské gotické veže se zacalo v roce 1497, protože puvodní byla pri obléhání husitskými vojsky znacne poškozena. Již její mohutné zdi dávají tušit, že byla stavena jako vež obranná. Vchod do ní je až ve výšce 7 m, do jejího prvního patra. K prístupu zvencí sloužily vždy drevené schody, které se v dobe ohrožení daly lehce odstranit.
Date Built: 1497
