Černilov is a municipality and village in Hradec Králové District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,500 inhabitants.
The villages of Bukovina and Újezd are administrative parts of Černilov.
Černilov is located about 7km (04miles) northeast of Hradec Králové. It lies in an agricultural landscape of the Orlice Table. The highest point is at 287m (942feet) above sea level. The village is situated along the brook Černilovský potok, which originates here.
The first written mention of Černilov is from 1271. The village was founded on an old trade route.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmarks of Černilov are the three churches: the Catholic Church of the Finding of Saint Stephen, the Evangelical church and the former Evangelical church, which now serves as the municipal and ceremonial hall.[3] However, none of them is considered a cultural monument.[4]
Among the protected cultural monuments in the municipality are the Neo-Renaissance former Protestant primary school from 1864, a statue of St. John of Nepomuk from 1726, a statue of St. Florian from the end of the 18th century, and six Neoclassical rural homesteads from the 19th century.[4]
A tourist destination is a Dutch-type mill, built in 2016. It houses a gallery and an educational space designed for meetings.[5]
