Pardubice experienced significant growth after 1491 when it was acquired by Vilem of Pernstein, the most powerful nobleman and steward in the Czech Kingdom. He chose Pardubice as the center of his estate and began constructing a town that reflected his stature. The extravagant construction led to the saying "it glitters like Pardubice." Today, we can appreciate the Pernstein family's contributions, such as the gorgeous historical center and the renaissance square, which has been a protected conservation area since 1964. They also transformed the old castle into a luxurious palace encircled by a massive fort. Another pivotal moment in Pardubice's history came in 1845 when a train traversed the town for the first time on the Prague-Olomouc line. This turned Pardubice into a crucial railway junction, fostering growth in agriculture, engineering, and chemical industries, as well as social and cultural life. In 1874, the renowned Great Pardubice Steeplechase horse race began. Jan Kaspar, a Pardubice native, became the first Czech aviator to successfully fly and land an aircraft in 1910. A year later, he piloted the Bleriot on its inaugural flight from Pardubice to Prague, further elevating the town's reputation. The town's development was halted by the German occupation during World War II, and the local resistance movement was significantly influenced by the Silver A parachute group. The group's members, Czechoslovak soldiers sent from England, found support and refuge in Pardubice. The assassination of Reichs protector Reinhard Heydrich was believed to be linked to Silver A, leading to the execution of 194 Czech patriots by the Nazis between June and July 1942 at the Zamecek execution site. Currently, Pardubice takes pride not only in its horse racing and gingerbread-making traditions but also in events like the Golden Helmet Speedway race and the Junior tennis championship. The town boasts an extensive and safe network of bike paths and tracks for cyclists and horseback riders alike.
