In the entrance hall, the Sala terrena, there is a ceiling painting executed using the secco technique, depicting four winds blowing the breath of life toward the center. The chapel at Uhřice Castle was consecrated in 1773 as the Chapel of the Finding of the Holy Cross. The village cemetery in Uhřice also features culturally remarkable architectural elements. Various cultural events are held in Uhřice every year and attract strong participation from visitors from the surrounding area.

History

Uhřice Castle was first mentioned in the 14th century as an estate and probably as a fortress. The last and most significant alterations to Uhřice Castle took place in 1764 under its owner, Michal Chorynský.

When comparing possible accommodations in Uhřice, you can check the exact location, accommodation type and intended occupancy on the respective offer page before booking. Included services, price components, and booking and cancellation conditions can also be checked. For several travelers, it is particularly important whether the stated occupancy matches the group size and which services are actually included in the price. In addition, checking the stated travel period and total price can help distinguish individual terms clearly. You can also check whether additional costs are listed separately and whether occupancy is specified for all traveling persons. When comparing offers, only the values from the same offer page should be used; this keeps the price, services and conditions assigned to the specific listing. The deadlines and payment conditions stated there are also relevant for your own planning, insofar as they are listed on the page. Information about a minimum stay or different fees may also appear there as separate fields. Also check whether taxes, final cleaning or a deposit are listed as separate items and when payments are due. If the travel period changes, you should read the values again instead of combining the price and conditions from different periods. This keeps the total price, optional surcharges and stated occupancy clearly separate in the cost overview.
