Bernartice (German: Barzdorf) is a municipality and village in Jeseník District in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 800 inhabitants.
The villages of Buková and Horní Heřmanice are administrative parts of Bernartice.
Bernartice is located about north of Jeseník and 88km (55miles) north of Olomouc, on the border with Poland. It lies on the border between the Vidnava Lowlands and Žulová Hilly Land. The highest point is at 376m (1,234feet) above sea level. The village of Bernartice is situated along the stream Vojtovický potok.
The first written mention of Bernartice is from 1291.[2] It was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. As a result of further fragmentation it soon became part of the Duchy of Nysa, which later on passed under Bohemian suzerainty, and following the duchy's dissolution in 1850, it was incorporated directly into Bohemia. Following World War I, from 1918, it formed part of Czechoslovakia, and from 1938 to 1945 it was occupied by Germany.
During World War II, the Germans operated the E461 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[3]
Bernartice is located on the railway line Javorník–Lipová-lázně.[4]
The main landmark of Bernartice is the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. It is a Baroque building with a Gothic core.[5]
