History and Culture

During construction work on the D11 motorway in 2005, several building foundations and hearths were discovered in the cadastral area of Chýšť. The find was investigated beneath the Vražednice forest, at the present-day course of the motorway.

A hoard of Bohemian denarii dating from the end of the 10th century was discovered in the cadastral area of Chýšť, near the northwestern border of the Pardubický kraj. In 2020, the find was declared a movable cultural monument of the Czech Republic. It is permanently displayed in a vault room at Pardubice Castle, which visitors can view as part of a guided tour.
