Česká Třebová

Česká Třebová is the fourth (according to the number of inhabitants) and second (according to area) city of the Pardubice region. It is situated in the north-south oriented valley of the Třebovka River. The city and surroundings are sometimes referred to as Českotřebovsko, the surrounding landscape as the Českotřebovsko Mezihoří. Česká Třebová is a significant railway junction. In 1995, the city centre was declared an Urban Heritage Zone.

History

The first written record of České Třebova dates back to 1278. Prior to the city, there was a settlement on the right side of the bank of the Třebovka River. The settlement is first referred to as a city in 1292. During White Mountain times, under the rule of the Lichtensteins, the city lost its majority rights and gradually became poor. During a fire in 1636 the entire city was almost destroyed. The most dramatic boom began after 1845, when Jan Perner built the railway. During World War II, Česká Třebová was a borderland city. In 1948 - 1949 it lost its battle for the domicile of the district authorities and neighbouring Ústí nad Orlicí became the district city. After 1989, Česká Třebová began to fully develop and made a number of international connections.

The most significant monuments

The most significant architectural monument in České Třebova is the Rotunda of St. Catherine from the 1st half of the 13th century. It is the only preserved Romanesque building in East Bohemia. Behind the square stands the grand Empire style Church of St. Jacob the Greater built in 1801. It is definitely worth visiting the City Museum, whose depository includes e.g. an exhibition of crèches. Nearby New Square is Javorka Park, established in 1885. Close to the city in the picturesque village Kozlov is the Cottage of Max Švabinsky housing an exhibition reminding us of his stay here (1895–1919).

Legend

A city clerk lost the city seal and was almost executed for it. While his wife was disposing of waste in the scrap yard, she noticed how a rooster had dug out the lost seal from the pile of waste. The wife took the seal and brought it to the bailiff and alderman, thereby the clerk was saved by the rooster. Since then, a rooster has been depicted in the city emblem with the head of a clerk, who almost lost that head.
