Lysa Nad Labem: Hotels and accommodations
Lysá nad Labem Chateau stands on the site of a former fortress and a later Gothic castle. Its interior is not open to the public; the freely accessible chateau park, on the other hand, encompasses extensive grounds with Baroque sculptures.
Culture and history
The Baroque reconstruction of Lysá nad Labem Chateau was completed by František Antonín Špork between 1738 and 1739.
The Church of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist is a Baroque parish church built in the first half of the 18th century according to a design by František Maxmilián Kaňka. Its surrounding wall is adorned with statues of saints, Church Fathers, evangelists, and archangels. The church and the statue-adorned surrounding wall are protected as immovable cultural monuments of the Czech Republic.
The permanent exhibition of the Bedřich Hrozný Museum is housed in a reconstructed, Baroque, listed building. Part of the exhibition presents Bedřich Hrozný's scientific work and the Ancient Near East. The final section is devoted to the natural attractions of Lysá nad Labem and the surrounding area.
The Augustinian monastery complex in Lysá nad Labem was built from 1730 to 1741 under František Antonín Špork according to plans by the architect Bartolomeo Scotti and completed by Anselmo Lurago. The monastery terraces host cultural events. Vineyards were also restored on the reconstructed terraces, and the town produces its wine from their grapes.
