Bernartice (de|Bernsdorf) is a municipality and village in Trutnov District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 900 inhabitants.
The village of Křenov is an administrative part of Bernartice.
Bernartice is located about 9km (06miles) northeast of Trutnov and 48km (30miles) north of Hradec Králové, on the border with Poland. It lies in the Broumov Highlands. The highest point is the hill Mravenčí vrch at 837m (2,746feet) above sea level. The Ličná Stream flows through the municipality.
The first written mention of Bernartice is from 1297. It was founded during the colonization during the reign of King Ottokar II of Bohemia, probably around 1260.[2]
During World War II, the German occupiers operated a subcamp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp in the village in which over 400 Jewish women deported from various countries were subjected to forced labour. The camp was liberated in May 1945.[3]
The I/16 road (the section from Trutnov to the Czech-Polish border in Královec) passes through the municipality.
Bernartice is located on the railway line Trutnov–Sędzisław.
The main landmark of Bernartice is the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It was built in the Baroque style in 1677–1678.[2]
