Geography

Dašice is located about 8 kilometres (5 mi) east of Pardubice. It lies in a flat landscape of the East Elbe Table lowland, on the edge of the Polabí region. The river Loučná flows through the town.

History

The first written mention of Dašice is from 1318. In 1437, Dašice was first referred to as a market town. In 1517, Dašice estate was acquired by the Pernštejn family and was merged with Pardubice estate. In 1917, Dašice was promoted to a town.[2]

Sights

The historic centre is formed by the large T. G. Masaryka Square with preserved burgher houses from the turn of the 18th–19th century, characterized by late Rococo Empire facades.[3]

One of the landmarks is the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. It is a Baroque basilica from 1677–1707.[3]

The historical and technical monument is the Neo-Renaissance building of the water mill, in which two Francis turbines have been working non-stop since 1922.[3]
