Sendraž (German: Sendrasch) is a municipality and village in Náchod District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 100 inhabitants.

Etymology

The initial name of the village was probably Sěmidraž and was derived from the personal name Sěmidrah, meaning "Sěmidrah's (court)".[2]

Geography

Sendraž is located about 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of Náchod and 31 km (19 mi) northeast of Hradec Králové. It lies in the Orlické Foothills. The highest point is the hill Na Vartě at 618 m (2,028 ft) above sea level.

History

The first written mention of Sendraž is from 1338, when the village was almost entirely destroyed by fire. From 1548 until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848, Sendraž belonged to the Náchod estate. From 1959 to 1990, Sendraž was a municipal part of Jestřebí.[3]

The tower is 50 m (164 ft) high and the observation deck is at a height of 28 m (92 ft).[7]
