Lázně Bělohrad (formerly: Nová Ves ; German: Bad Bielohrad , formerly: Neudorf ) is a city in the Czech Republic . It is located 15 kilometers east of Jičín and belongs to the Okres Jičín .
history
Today's Bělohrad emerged from the settlement Nová Ves ( Neudorf ), which was first mentioned in 1267. That year Marek von Hořitz bought it. In 1354 it was owned by Bořek von Neudorf, although the wooden church and a wooden festival, which is only documented for 1457, are said to have existed at that time. After frequent changes of ownership, it was owned by Jindřich Škopek from Bílé Otradovice in 1543, whose son Jan built a castle in 1556, which was called "Bělohrad" ( White Castle ) because of its white walls . After the Battle of the White Mountain , Albrecht von Wallenstein acquired Neudorf in 1626 , who sold it to Rozina Miřkovský von Stropčice in 1628, from whom it passed to Henri de Saint Julien in 1630 and General Wilhelm von Lamboy in 1642 . As a loyal supporter of the emperor, he strictly pursued the re-Catholicization , so that subsequently numerous residents went into exile. Lamboy's heirs sold Neudorf in 1669 to Katharina Elisabeth von Waldstein , after whose death it passed to her husband Berthold Wilhelm von Waldstein. Under him - he was governor of the Königgrätzer Kreis - Neudorf experienced a heyday. In 1689 he built the All Saints Church, at the beginning of the 18th century he had the fort converted into a Baroque palace, eighteen new houses were built on the main square and in 1722 he founded an orphanage.
On May 2, 1722, Emperor Karl VI. Neudorf to the town, and at the same time the official name was changed to "Bělohrad".
After Berthold Wilhelm's death on October 31, 1724, Bělohrad inherited his niece, who was married to Johann Ernst von Schaffgotsch . His heir Jan Bertold von Schaffgotsch died in 1806, and Bělohrad inherited his daughter, who was married to Baron Stillfried . In 1843 they sold Bělohrad to their brother-in-law Mario Alfons von Aichelburg, from whose heirs the industrialist Max Dormitzer purchased the property, who sold them to Anna Countess von der Asseburg in 1885 . During their reign, Bělohrad experienced great economic development.
The sugar factory built by the von Aichelburg family in 1850 was acquired by the industrialist Goldschmidt, who had it converted into a textile factory in 1877. Since 1871 Bělohrad had a railway connection.
Spa
In 1872 Maximilian Dormitzer had a bathhouse with three baths built on the left bank of the Javorka river. The further development of the bath took place after 1885 under Countess Anna von Assenburg. For the first time she had mud baths administered from the moor peat camps for medicinal purposes and in 1891 built a large spa house, among other things, which was named in her honor as "Anna Mud Bath". Rheumatic, neurological and vascular diseases are treated in “Lázně Bělohrad”.
