Bílý Újezd: Hotels and Accommodations

The Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord has a Baroque high altar dating from 1748. Its essential elements were created by the sculptor František Pacák; it depicts the Transfiguration of the Lord on Mount Tabor.

The bell tower by the church is a late Gothic building from the 16th century and is incorporated into the cemetery wall. It has a three-tiered shingle roof. The bell tower also preserves a bell cast in 1557 and renovated in 1564.

In the cemetery of Bílý Újezd, Mančinka’s grave is marked by a slender obelisk made of white Carrara marble. Mančinka is associated with Božena Němcová’s novel “The Grandmother”.

The roadside inn, originally built of wood, was constructed of stone toward the end of the 16th century, with walls about one metre thick and massive vaulted ceilings. In the second half of the 19th century, its attic housed a ballroom where the first theatrical performances by local amateur actors also took place. The roadside inn was one of the oldest taverns in the region.

In the village green of Bílý Újezd, known as “Hlavatka”, there is a statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel from 1870. The renovated Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary was consecrated on 8 September 1880.

A public multi-purpose sports facility is available in the centre of Bílý Újezd. At the southern edge of Bílý Újezd, below the ZEAS Podorlicko complex, there is a football pitch. Bílý Újezd is also situated on the designated Ještětice–Bílý Újezd–Podbřezí cycling route.

Hroška is also connected with Bílý Újezd. Hroška lies in a valley through which the Ještětický stream flows from east to west. Hroška is home to a chapel of Saint Wenceslas built in 1887.
