Netřebice: Hotels and Accommodation

The educational trail Po stopách víly Netřebky, established in 2014, passes through Netřebice and its surroundings.

Culture and History

A prominent building in the village is the Netřebice bell tower. The two-storey masonry structure has a bell-shaped roof with a lantern and probably dates from the mid-19th century. Its façades and roof were restored in 2012. Also dating from the mid-19th century is the late Baroque gate of Farmstead No. 7, which stands east of Netřebice village square. The village also has a small, recently renovated chapel of the Virgin Mary.

Netřebice is one of the oldest settlements in the Nymburk region and was founded in the 11th or 12th century. In 1185, the village belonged to the Knights of the Cross of St. Mary. According to tradition, in 1186 Alžběta, the wife of Prince Fridrich, gave Netřebice to the Knights Hospitaller. In the 16th century, Netřebice was owned by Poděbrady Castle.
