Culture and history in Dlouhá Třebová

Dlouhá Třebová offers religious art, monuments, and a well-documented connection to the local history within a compact thematic area. The Kostel sv. Prokopa church is particularly significant: it was consecrated on December 8, 1906, and built in the Neo-Gothic style. The Prokop bell, acquired in 1753, is also associated with it. Together, the building’s form and the bell provide visitors with an insight into different historical periods, without the church having to be viewed merely as an individual building.

Another sacred site is the Kaple sv. Josefa chapel, built in 1898. It contains a painting of Saint Joseph donated by Josef Šár.

Monuments with different stories

One of the notable individual monuments is the Socha sv. Jana Nepomuckého statue. It was erected on June 27, 1826, and is a state-protected cultural monument. The Socha sv. Prokopa statue is also a protected monument; it is life-sized, and processions still take place there every year. Visiting it is therefore connected not only with a historical object, but also with a religious tradition that continues to this day.

The Památník Obětem válek memorial commemorates the men who did not return from the battlefields of the First World War. The memorial site includes a lion made of Hořice sandstone. Following its reconstruction in 2014, the grounds were designed as a park and made fully accessible. The site thus offers a different approach to local history than the sacred buildings and religious sculptures: the focus is on remembrance, commemoration, and the design of the surroundings.

The Sousoší Nejsvětější trojice group of statues also adds to the picture of the local monuments. The group is made of sandstone, was acquired in 1887, and has been a cultural monument since 1996. In the central part of Dlouhá Třebová there is also the Pomník svobody, a stone memorial mound complex from 1924. Embedded in it are three bronze emblems of Jan Hus, Jan Žižka, and Tomáš G. Masaryk. These details show that the town’s memorial sites make religious, war-related, and civic themes visible side by side.
