Discover Heřmanův Městec

Heřmanův Městec lies at the northern foot of the Železné hory. For travelers wishing to combine cultural monuments and nature, the town offers a range of points of interest. Its history can be explored through Baroque architecture, the synagogue, and an art gallery; the nature trail and landscape offer a different perspective. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, these themes can help you tailor your trip to your interests.

Cultural Monuments and Art

The urban conservation area was designated in 1990. It includes the park belonging to the castle, which is attached to the city's most significant listed building. The Church of St. Bartholomew is a cultural monument of significance beyond the region. It was built between 1756 and 1761 in the pure Baroque style.

The old cemetery complex near the Church of the Annunciation includes a church from the second half of the 16th century, listed gravestones, a Baroque bell tower, and an enclosing wall. Its different elements offer several concrete historical points of reference: the church's date, the protected gravestones, and the tower's Baroque architecture. The synagogue was fully reconstructed between 1997 and 2001 and ceremonially reopened on November 25, 2001.

Visual art is also part of the town's cultural offerings. Since 2002, Gallery Cyrany has served as a permanent gallery and has assembled a collection of works by 20th-century painters and sculptors from eastern Bohemia. Alongside the historic buildings, the gallery and its regional artistic focus offer distinct themes to consider when planning a trip.

Landscape and Trails

Bažantnice lies on the eastern edge of the built-up area and covers approximately 22.2 hectares. It is part of the Natura 2000 network and serves as a recreation area for the city's residents. Its location, approximate area, and protected-area designation make it a clearly defined nature attraction within the town.

The “Město u dvou moří” nature trail has six stops. It offers information about two prehistoric seas that once surrounded the area of present-day Heřmanův Městec; its focus is therefore geological. Another point of interest to consider when planning a trip is Konopáč, a junction for marked hiking and cycling trails.
