Orthodox church and memorial plaques for Matéj Pavlik, later Bishop Gorazd II. Hrubá Vrbka is also the birthplace of Matéj Pavlik. This name may not mean anything to many, so here's a brief history lesson. Matéj Pavlik was born in Hrubá Vrbka on May 26, 1879. The local Protestant priest recognized early on that young Matéj was intelligent and arranged for him to attend the Episcopal School in Kroměříž, where he completed his matriculation exams and transferred to the Episcopal College in Olomouc. In 1921, Matéj Pavlik was finally consecrated as an Orthodox bishop in Belgrade and henceforth bore the name Gorazd II. Shortly after his consecration, he moved to Prague, where he took over the Orthodox diocese, which included, among other things, the famous Prague Church of St. Cyril and Methodius, where Gorazd II hid the paratroopers involved in the Heydrich assassination attempt. After the hiding place was discovered, Gorazd II was arrested by the Gestapo, convicted, and executed in Prague on September 4, 1942. On September 5, 1987, Gorazd II was canonized in Olomouc. Since his execution, he has been considered a martyr in the fight against fascism.

This original water castle was built around the middle of the 13th century by Sudomír from the House of Tvrdišovec. The first mention of the castle dates back to 1261 and it is one of the oldest castles in the Moravian region. In the middle of the 16th century, the castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau. In the first half of the 19th century, the chateau was rebuilt into its current late-classical form according to a design by the Viennese architect Karel Schleps. In April 1945, the chateau was badly damaged by the passing of the war front. In 2003, the town council sold the chateau to a private investor. Currently, the chateau looks very dilapidated. Apparently, it is being converted into a hotel.
