The dominant feature of Hronov Square is the Jirásek Theater . It was built according to the project of Ing. arch. Jindřich Freiwald Since 1931, international shows of the amateur theater Jirásek Hronova have been held there every year. The building houses a relief memorial plaque to the victims of the First World War by J. Horejc from 1932, on the ground floor a bust of Alois Jirásek and Josef Čapek, executed by F. Barták. A new multi-purpose hall by Josef Čapek (built according to the project of architect Miloš Skaunice) has been located in the extension of the theater since 1999. On the second floor of the theater building we find the Jirásek Museum focused on the history and ethnography of the Hronov region and the person and work of Alois Jirásek.
Marian Baroque sculptural groupin the middle of the square it dates from 1725. It was acquired by two Hronov natives Václav Klugar and Bedřich Korda. On the central column is a Baroque statue of the Virgin Mary with a baby standing on the globe. Behind the bridge over Metuji we find a free courtyard in the places of the former medieval water fortress , a rare cultural monument of folk architecture. Antonín Knahl (Kalina), a watchmaker, musician and founder of the Hronov amateur association, lived
in Jiráskova Street in the so-called Kalin House . The birth house of the writer Alois Jirásek (1851 – 1930) dates from the end of the 18th century and belongs to the monuments of folk architecture. Mineral springs spring in the adjacent park
Hronovka and Regnerka with alkaline – ferrous water. Next to his native house stands Jirásek’s bronze statue – the work of sculptor Josef Malejovský.
On the hill we can see the late renaissance bell tower in 1610 and next to it the church of All Saints . Originally a Gothic church, rebuilt in the Baroque style in the years 1713 – 1717 and 1736. Next to the side entrance to the church is the tomb of Justynka and Kalina , behind the church is the old cemetery. The grave of Alois Jirásek is located in the adjacent new cemetery in the central part. The urn with his ashes was placed here on March 19. 1930.
The road from the square towards Žďárky takes us to the summer residence of Alois Jirásek, who regularly spent his holidays here with his family since 1916. Here he celebrated his 70th birthday, during which he was visited by President TG Masaryk.
On the main road to Náchod, on the house where he spent his childhood, there is a memorial plaque of the writer Egon Hostovský (1908 – 1973), designed by a native of Hronov, painter Ivan Krejčí. Almost opposite this house once stood the native cottage of the writer Josef Čapek (1887 – 1945), which, however, had to give way to the new needs of the time. In its place originally stood a small monument, which was due to the construction of a training center moved to a park for rafting.
