Dobřenice is a municipality and village in Hradec Králové District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants.
The name is derived from the personal name Dobřen, meaning "the village of Dobřen's people".[2]
Dobřenice is located about 14km (09miles) southwest of Hradec Králové. It lies in the East Elbe Table. The highest point is the flat hill Velká Dorota at 292m (958feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Dobřenice is from 1339.[3]
The D11 motorway (part of the European route E67) from Prague to Hradec Králové runs through the municipality.
The railway line Hradec Králové–Chlumec nad Cidlinou passes through the municipal territory, but the station named Dobřenice is located in neighbouring Syrovátka just behind the municipal border.
The Dobřenice Castle was built in the Baroque style in 1693. It replaced an older fortress.[3]
The Church of Saint Clement was built in 1739. The current Baroque church replaced an old wooden church from the 14th century.[3]
