Culture

In the centre of Starý Bydžov, the Kostel sv. Prokopa Church stands at a crossroads leading towards Stará Skřeněř, Nový Bydžov, Hlušice and Křičov. It was originally a Romanesque building dating from around 1200. Eight 16th-century tombstones have also been preserved at the church.

A monument to Jan Malát stands in the village square. It consists of three sandstone blocks with a commemorative plaque. Jan Malát was born in Starý Bydžov on 16 June 1843.

The find comprises eight disc-shaped earrings and is considered the largest ensemble of this type of jewellery found in the Czech Republic.
