Hořice has served as a centre of sandstone carving in northeastern Bohemia since the 19th century. Set below the Krkonoše foothills, the town is closely associated with Hořice sandstone, a material that shaped local workshops and public sculpture. The Hořice Sculpture Park on Gothard Hill and the local stoneworking and sculpture school, founded in 1884, reflect this enduring craft tradition. Hořice is also known for Hořické trubičky, delicate rolled wafers protected by an EU geographical indication.
