Hrubý Jeseník is a municipality and village in Nymburk District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants.
Hrubý Jeseník is located about 8km (05miles) northeast of Nymburk and 43km (27miles) northeast of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Central Elbe Table.
The first written mention of Hrubý Jeseník is from 1088, when King Vratislaus II donated the village to the Vyšehrad Chapter. Until the 16th century, Hrubý Jeseník was owned by various less important noblemen. In the 16th century, the village was acquired by the Křinecký of Ronov family, who joined it to the Křinec estate. During the Thirty Years' War, the village was almost completely destroyed. At the end of the 17th century, the estate was bought by the Morzin family.[2]
The railway line Jičín–Nymburk passes through the municipality, but there is no train station.
The main landmark of Hrubý Jeseník is the Church of Saint Wenceslaus. It was built in the late Baroque style in 1766.[3]
