Vysoké Mýto

Vysoké Mýto is one of the oldest and most significant cities in the Pardubice region. The city is situated in the Ústí nad Orlicí district at the mouth of the Mlýnsky Stream to the Loučná River. It lies 18 km from the district city Ústí nad Orlicí at an altitude of 289 m a.s.l. The railway line from Chocen to Litomyšl passes through the city the frequented 35/1 road cuts through and an airport is nearby. The city includes a large autodrome. The historical centre of the city is an Urban Heritage Zone.

History

In 1262, the city was established by King Přemysl Otakar II as one of the business centres on the main connection of Bohemia and Moravia, the so-called Trstenicka Route. In 1307, Czech King Rudolf Habsburský turned Vysoké Mýto into the dowry town of Czech queens. In its history, the city experienced a time of flourishing, however, disastrous fires and foreign troops as well. From the middle of the 19th century, Vysoké Mýto was a traditional domicile for military troops. Unfortunately, the last soldiers were the occupational Soviet military. The 20th century forever imprinted on the city the permanent stamp of the world of motors. In the first half the company Carrosseria Sodomka, which belonged to the genius designer and body builder Josef Sodomek, brought Vysoké Mýto fame. The company brought fame to Czechoslovakia all over the world with its vehicles in the 30s and 40s.

The most significant monuments

Until the present, the regular shaped layout of the city with a central square, which is the largest square-shaped type in Bohemia, have remained preserved.

When taking a stroll through the centre, you cannot miss the square, the Gothic Church of St. Lawrence, the building of the old town hall, the belfry from the 16th century, the Choceňska, Pražska or Litomyšl Gate.  The Vodárenská and Klášterská bastion have remained preserved in the fortifications. Expositions in the local museum are devoted to e.g. the history of handicrafts and guilds. The original furnishings of the Viennese study of A.V. Šembera are on display here.

Legend

When they were awaiting Emperor Joseph II in Vysoké Mýto, a mess happened. It was the Emperor’s habit to move his visits by a day and so he did, however, the Myto citizens thought he would not come and ate the prepared trout. Suddenly the highly important visitor arrived the following day, and now what should they do? Of course something was left from the day before and it was served to the Emperor, who claimed he had not had such a good trout in a long time, like the one in Mýto! However, one of the men spoke: “Your majesty, the trout was prepared better yesterday.” How did the Emperor react to this nobody really knows, the majority of legends says that he asked the man for his name. “Kujeba” was the response. The Emperor reacted: “So we are all fine Kujebaci.” Ever since that event, Vysoké Mýto and the surroundings are called “kujebina” and citizens “kujebaci.”
