The town Podebrady was established near an important crossing on the river Labe (Elbe) in 1224.

The old wooden castle built in 12th

century changed over the centuries into a comfortable chateau

and it is a dominating feature of this town. It is also a place where the most famous Czech King Jiri

of Podebrady was born in 1420. During his reign the peace efforts far surpassed the following

centuries. The present appearance of the chateau is a result of several thorough reconstructionsfrom a water castle, a medieval fortress and a Renaissance royal seat up to a Late Baroque building

intended to fulfil military purposes during the reign of Josef II.

A small spa was established here in 17th

century and its spring was considered as the best ferriferous

water. The most significant period started in 1905 when a spring of mineral water was discovered

here while searching for drinking water in the courtyard of the castle. The first spa season began as

the mineral water, with an excellent medical force in the carbonic spa, brought the predicted golden

age of the town in 1908.

The town Podebrady has become a favourite summer resort thanks to the successful health-results,

eventful cultural, social and sports life and the beautiful natural setting.
