Horní Počaply: Hotels and Accommodation

Horní Počaply lies on the border between the Central Bohemian Region and the Ústí nad Labem Region, on the left bank of the lower Elbe. A cycle path without any inclines runs along the riverbank and is also suitable for beginner cyclists travelling with their parents.

Culture and History

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary stands in a prominent position on a hill above Horní Počaply and is surrounded by a cemetery. The single-nave church has a prismatic tower and a rectangular chancel, dates back to a Gothic church from the 14th century, and was restored in 1869–1871.

The protected ensemble includes a mortuary, the boundary wall with gates, the gravestones of J. Macháček and A. Březina, and a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk. In the history of Počaply, the municipality describes the church as a memorial to the period of the Carthusian Monastery of the Garden of the Virgin Mary at Prague’s Újezd.
