Geography

Valy is located about 10 kilometres (6 mi) west of Pardubice. It lies in the western tip of the Svitavy Uplands. The highest point is the hill Bílý kopec at 247 metres (810 ft) above sea level. The municipality is situated on the right bank of the Elbe River, which forms the northern municipal border.

History

The first written mention of Valy is from 1398. The history of Valy is connected with the village of Lepějovice, first mentioned in 1167. Lepějovice was abandoned between 1704 and 1848, when both villages were part of the Choltice estate. In addition to Lepějovice, today's territory of the municipality also includes the former village of Crkaň.[3]

Sights

The Church of Saint Michael the Archangel is located in the area on the extinct village of Lepějovice. It is originally a nearly Gothic church from the second half of the 13th century, which was completely rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1819 into its current appearance.[4]

Z pěti kanálů Bridge is a railway bridge from 1845. It is protected as a technical monument.[2]
