Uhřice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Uhřice combines the Čejč–Uhřice adventure railway and the aquapark with evidence of ecclesiastical, military and local history.

Experiences

The Čejč–Uhřice adventure railway offers family rides on the historic M240 railcar. During the journey, children can look into the driver’s cab and have their photo taken at the controls in the station. The Čejč–Uhřice adventure railway’s railway park includes bouncy castles, a small chain carousel, creative activities, a model railway, and a sand and ball-play area.

Uhřice Aquapark is equipped with a lifting device that enables people with reduced mobility to access the swimming pool. The grounds include a swimming pool with a lane for fitness swimming, a children’s paddling pool, a slide, two additional water slides, massage benches, jets and loungers, water spouts, a water wall, and a volleyball court for CZK 100 per hour.

Culture and History

The Church of St John the Baptist in Uhřice is a Gothic-Renaissance building dating from the first half of the 14th century. It contains a clay tabernacle which experts consider to be Habán work from the late 16th or early 17th century. Beneath the floor in the centre of the church lies a presumably vaulted crypt with a square floor plan and allegedly four-metre-long sides; it is said to contain three coffins, as well as remnants of a cross and a rosary.

The “Meeting of Two Emperors” memorial in Uhřice commemorates the meeting of Napoleon I Bonaparte and Francis I of Austria on 4 December 1805, after the Battle of Austerlitz. The grounds feature an obelisk surrounded by four linden trees.

An information board with maps of the surrounding area and a plan of the battlefield between Brno and Austerlitz was installed at the entrance to the grounds of Janův Dvůr in 2002.

On the village square in Uhřice, opposite house number 99, stands a high-quality Rococo sculpture of Saint John of Nepomuk. It was probably created in the third quarter of the 18th century in the art workshop of O. Schweigl.
