geography
Jaroměř is located 15 kilometers northeast of the district town of Hradec Králové at the confluence of three rivers, the confluence of the Úpa ( Aupa ) and the Metuje ( Mettau ) into the Elbe ( Labe ).
history
The historic old town has been populated for more than a thousand years. At the beginning of the 11th century, Jaromír , prince of the Přemyslids , built a fortress and named it Jaroměř . Under King Ottokar I. Přemysl Jaroměř was elevated to the rank of royal town .
In the 14th century, the Prague Archbishop Ernst von Pardubitz founded an Augustinian monastery here. At that time, the place became a personal property city and received considerable privileges. After the Jaroměř city governor Hynek von Červená Hora , who was on the side of King Sigismund , razed the eastern Hussite town of Krčín in 1420 , the Hussites conquered Jaroměř in 1421 and destroyed the Augustinian monastery. The formerly German-speaking city later became Czech and remained a center of Hussite teaching until the Counter-Reformation .
In 1554 the Lithuanian prince Dimitri Sanguszko was murdered here. In 1645 the Swedes under Torstensson besieged the place.
In the years 1780 to 1787 Joseph II had the imperial fortress Ples , which was later named Josefstadt, built opposite the city, on the left bank of the Elbe and Mettau . In 1948 the fortress town Josefov was incorporated into Jaroměř.
