Jaroměřice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Jaroměřice is defined by the Jaroměřická Calvary: it is one of the three most important pilgrimage sites in the Pardubice Region and also a significant landscape landmark. The Baroque pilgrimage complex is a faithful replica of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

Pilgrimage Site and Stations of the Cross

The pilgrimage site in Jaroměřice is enclosed by covered walkways, with three chapels on each long side. The eastern end of the complex is formed by the Santini pilgrimage church of “Povýšení svatého Kříže”, which dates from 1712–1713.

The Baroque Stations of the Cross leads from the Church of “Všech svatých” to the Calvary and comprises 11 stations. The depictions alternate between chapels, sandstone columns and paintings.

Churches and History

The Church of “Všech svatých” was built around the 12th century as a single-nave Gothic church with a tower and is the oldest architectural monument in Jaroměřice. Inside is a tombstone from 1562 depicting the knight Jan z Linhartic, who resided at the Jaroměřice fortress.

Under Jan Bartodějský z Bartoděj, who owned the Jaroměřice estate from 1609 to 1611, the Church of “Všech svatých” was probably rebuilt in the Baroque style.
