Dobřany (German: Dobschan) is a municipality and village in Rychnov nad Kněžnou District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic.
Until the establishment of a sovereign municipality in 1848, the village belonged to the Opočno estate.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the patriotic priest Josef Liboslav Ziegler worked here.
The rectory then became an important regional centre of the Czech National Revival, where notable personalities met, such as Josef Dobrovský, František Vladislav Hek and Magdalena Dobromila Rettigová.
[6] On a hill above the Dědina River in the western part of the municipality there is a ruin of the Dobřany Castle.
