Uhřice, Fortified house in Uhřice, Czech Republic

Uhřice is a former Renaissance fortress in Uhřice, part of Sedlec-Prčice in the Příbram district. Its main surviving element is the former east wing: a two-storey residential building with vaulted ground floor, one barrel vault Renaissance in date, and a sedlová roof with a Ránka truss. A cowshed and barn adjoin it to the south, and a stream runs along the east facade.

Uhřice is first mentioned in 1388 with Ondřej z Uhřic, and by 1409 a fortress already stood here. In the first half of the 16th century the village was attached to Prčice and passed to the Vrchotický z Loutkova family; in 1646 it was acquired by the Radečtí z Radče, under whom the building gained wings around a square courtyard and was called a chateau. It burned in 1855 and later decayed.

The name Uhřice first appears in 1388 with Ondřej z Uhřic, and by 1409 the fortress stood. Owners took their title from the seat, writing themselves "sezením na Uhřicích". From the Radečtí z Radče period the building was called a zámek, and the farmyard served the Herrmann family until 1942.

The complex lies in Uhřice, part of Sedlec-Prčice in the Příbram district. The main surviving element is the former east wing, with the residential building at its north end and a cowshed and barn to the south; a stream runs along the east wing. The area was listed as a cultural monument in 1987.

The main residential building has a vaulted ground floor with at least one Renaissance barrel vault, and its saddle roof carries a so-called Ránek truss. Under the Classicist facade, remnants of Baroque facades survive on the north and east fronts; above the stream on the east front, buttresses and part of an older facade with psaníčkové sgrafito remain.
