Early history and the church

The two early dates refer to different things: the settlement probably originated before the founding of Porta Coeli Monastery in Předklášteří in 1232; Újezd was first mentioned in writing in 1350. Thus, 1232 is the reference point for the settlement’s presumed origin before the monastery was founded, while 1350 marks its first written mention. Újezd also became the center of economic activity for the Vladykové z Drahan.

Romanesque architectural elements suggest that the Church of St. Giles was probably built at the beginning of the 13th century. This probable date is close in time to the settlement’s presumed origin, but it refers to a different historical event. Two crosses made of Nedvědice marble add a later feature: one stands by the road to the church, the other in the village center. Residents erected both at their own expense in the 1880s.
