Ústí nad Orlicí is located at the confluence of the Tichá Orlice and Trebovka rivers in eastern Bohemia. The town was founded around 1285 during the reign of Wenceslaus II by Wilhelm of Drnholec and developed into a regional craft center during the Middle Ages. A pivotal moment in its history occurred in 1845 with the completion of the Prague-Olomouc railway line, which triggered a massive industrial boom. Subsequently, the town earned the nickname 'Manchester of Eastern Bohemia' due to the high concentration of textile mills and spinning factories. Architecturally, the town is notable for the Roškot Theater, built in the 1930s, which is hailed as a masterpiece of Czech functionalist architecture. The surrounding landscape is popular for active tourism, featuring extensive cycling paths along the scenic river valleys. Today, the town serves as a key administrative and industrial hub for the Pardubice Region while preserving its cultural legacy through annual music festivals and art exhibitions.
