Obrubce is a municipality and village in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 200 inhabitants.
The village of Obora is an administrative part of Obrubce.
Obrubce is a diminutive form of Obruby, which is a village next to Obrubce. The name Obruby was derived from the old Czech word obrub, which can be translated as 'border', 'edge' or 'wall'.[2]
Obrubce is located about 11km (07miles) east of Mladá Boleslav and 54km (34miles) northeast of Prague. It lies in the Jičín Uplands. The highest point is at 251m (823feet) above sea level. The stream Přepeřský potok flows through the municipality. The western part of the municipal territory is rich in small fishponds.
The first written mention of Obrubce is from 1335. Until 1519, the village was owned by various local noble families. In 1519, Obrubce was bought by the Krajíř of Krajek family and joined to the Mladá Boleslav estate.[3]
The I/16 road (the section from Mladá Boleslav to Jičín) passes through the municipality.
The railway that runs through the municipality is unused.
The main landmark of Obrubce is the Church of the Holy Trinity. It was originally a Gothic church built before 1350. Until 1677, it was consecrated to Saints Cyril and Methodius. In the 18th century, the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style. Next to the church is a separate wooden bell tower.[3] [4]
