Culture and history

Urbanice is documented in written records from 1465 and 1558. Part of the local commemorative landscape is the monument honoring Master Jan Hus, erected at its own expense by the volunteer fire brigade in Urbanice. It was unveiled on June 30, 1929, at the edge of the municipal forest on the road to Pašát.

The statue group of the Virgin Mary was erected in 1908 and is located between houses No. 33 and No. 26, opposite house No. 46. A new small bell tower was built in 1929 after the former small bell tower, which had stood since 1860, fell into disrepair and was in danger of collapsing. The bell in the small bell tower in Urbanice bears the year 1803.

The hill of Pašát is associated with a local legend according to which knights led by Petr ze Stěžer are hiding inside it.
