Bražec is located southwest of Náchod on both banks of the Metuje ( Mettau ). Neighboring towns are Staré Město (old town) in the north, Lipi (Lip) and Jizbice (Jisbitz) in the east, Peklo (Höllengrund) and Přibyslav (Prenzlau) in the southeast, Provodov and Šonov in the southwest and Václavice (Wenceslasberg) in the west. Also to the west is the Branka Pass, over which an ancient national path ran, which led from Prague via Náchod and the Hummel Pass through the Glatzer Kessel to the Bohemian border castle Glatz ( Kladsko ) and on to Silesia .
history
It is not known when Bražec was founded. As early as 1415 it was included in a register listing the possessions of the Nachod estate , which at that time belonged to Boček II of Podebrady . It was part of the parish church of St. Laurentius in Náchod . In 1432 Jan Baštín z Porostlé, who was a military leader of Jan Žižka and of whom it is not known how he came to the Nachod rule, sold a mill in Bražec on the left bank of the Mettau. In the 17th century children from Bražec and other parish towns attended the parish school in Nachod. After of David Antonín Nývlt started 1738/39 Urbar then 22 buildings were counted in Bražec and neighboring Stare Mesto. In 1836 Bražec consisted of 72 inhabitants who lived in 13 houses and a mill. During the Battle of Nachod in 1866, the inhabitants of Nachod sought refuge in the forests around Bražec.
After the replacement of patrimonial Bražec became an independent municipality, which from 1850 belonged to the district of Neustadt an der Mettau . There was a significant economic boom after the textile industrialist Josef Bartoň bought several properties on the left bank of the Mettau in the cadastral area of Staré Město and Bražec. There he opened a modern weaving mill in 1885, which was expanded extensively in the decades that followed by his sons Josef and Cyril . Due to the increase in jobs, the number of Bražec residents rose from 133 in 1880 to 216 in 1910. In 1899 Bražec was incorporated into the newly formed Náchod district.
After the Communists came to power in 1948 and the Bartoň family was expropriated, the Bražec textile company was nationalized and incorporated into the newly created large company "Tepna". Subsequently, there were further reprisals by the MNV and the ONV , including against farmers who were not prepared to transfer their properties, agricultural equipment and animals to the JZD . In 1956 the Bražec farmer Antonín Kopáček was expropriated and forced to move with his family to a farm in Heřmanice within five days , leaving behind all of the private and agricultural facilities. The textile company was restituted to the Bartoň family after the Velvet Revolution in 1992.
