Horní Újezd is a municipality and village in Třebíč District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 300 inhabitants.
Horní Újezd is located about 8km (05miles) south of Třebíč and 33km (21miles) southeast of Jihlava. It lies in a mostly agricultural landscape in the Jevišovice Uplands. The highest point is at 553m (1,814feet) above sea level. The Rokytná River flows along the western municipal border.
The first written mention of Újezd is from 1243. It was held by various noble families; among the most notable owners of the village were the Pernštejn family. Újezd was renamed Horní Újezd in the first half of the 19th century to distinguish from Velký Újezd (today part of Kojatice).[2]
The railway line Znojmo–Okříšky runs through the municipal territory, but there is no train station. The municipality is served by the station in neighbouring Kojetice.
The main landmark of Horní Újezd is the Church of the Saints Peter and Paul. It is a Gothic church with a Romanesque core from the 13th century. The façade was modified in the Neoclassical style.[3]
