Police nad Metují (Czech pronunciation: [ˈpolɪtsɛ ˈnad mɛtujiː], German: Politz an der Mettau) is a town in Náchod District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic.
The historic town centre is well preserved and is protected by law as an urban monument zone.
The first trustworthy written mention of Police is from 6 September 1253, when King Ottokar II endowed it with the right to hold markets.
In 1469, the army under command of Matthias Corvinus looted the market town and burned it down, including the monastery.
The promising development was slowed after the opening of the railway from Choceň to Meziměstí, which bypassed the town.
[8] The monastery is formed by originally early Gothic buildings from 1306 that were rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1676–1772.
In the monastery complex is the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, partly rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1716–1723.
The church has an early Gothic angled portal with deep lining and rich plant décor with Romanesque elements from around 1270, which is a rare sculptural monument.
