Doubravice U Dvora Králové: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The name Velehrádek was transferred from a hill to the fortress built there, “Hrad Velehrádek.” In Doubravice, such traditionally preserved local references stand alongside evidence of the history of education and crafts.

Culture and History

The Ježkův dům school building was constructed in 1840, and teaching began there in 1841. In honour of Karel Ježek, the building bears the name Ježkův dům; a memorial plaque dedicated to him also commemorates him.

During the peak of demand for glass beads from 1902 to 1904, 150 glass bead makers worked in Doubravice – the highest number among the 67 named places in the surrounding area. Several years before this peak, a similar private dye works operated at the company Finger a spol.

Pijácký balvan is a stone at the edge of the forest where glass workers from Doubravice met during the First Republic. The reconciliation crosses between Doubravice and Zábřezí are associated with a locally preserved story about Matěj Neumann from Doubravice and Kryštof Pecka from Zábřezí.

In the forest between Doubravice and Zábřezí lies the Sokolský tábor Ježkov complex, which is used annually for Sokol summer camps.
