Velké Poříčí

Velké Poříčí (German: Groß Poritsch) is a market town in Náchod District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic.

A settlement called Poříčko was documented in 1415, but it is not certain whether Velké Poříčí could be meant by this.

[2] At the end of the 19th century, there was a boom in the village, connected with the construction of the railway in 1875 and with the development of the textile industry in the region.

[5] The main landmark of Velké Poříčí is the Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary.

[6] There are two protected cultural monuments: a late Baroque sculpture group of the Holy Trinity from 1821 and the Art Nouveau building of the primary school from the beginning of the 20th century.
