Jaroměřice: Hotels and Accommodation

The Jaroměřice Calvary is one of the three most important pilgrimage sites in the Pardubice Region and a prominent landscape feature. At the same time, it is a Baroque pilgrimage complex and a faithful copy of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

Culture

The pilgrimage site in Jaroměřice is enclosed by ambits and has three chapels on each longitudinal side. The eastern end of the complex is formed by the Santini pilgrimage church of “Povýšení svatého Kříže”, dating from 1712–1713.

The Baroque Stations of the Cross in Jaroměřice lead from the “Všech svatých” Church to the Calvary and have 11 stations. At these stations, the depictions alternate between chapels, sandstone columns, and paintings.

The “Všech svatých” Church was built around the 12th century as a single-nave Gothic church with a tower and is the oldest architectural monument in Jaroměřice. The church contains a tombstone from 1562 depicting the knight Jan z Linhartic, who resided at the Jaroměřice fortress. Under Jan Bartodějský z Bartoděj, who owned the Jaroměřice estate from 1609 to 1611, the church was probably rebuilt in the Baroque style.
