Benátky nad Jizerou, Renaissance chateau in Benátky nad Jizerou, Czech Republic

The municipality stretches along the Jizera River, encompassing three distinct administrative sections and two additional villages within the Mladá Boleslav District.

The settlement evolved from a 1052 village called Obodř into a fortified town in 1346, receiving its name Nové Benátky meaning New Venice.

The chateau museum displays collections from Australian Aboriginal artifacts to exhibitions about astronomer Tycho Brahe and the musical Benda family.

The D10 motorway connects the town to Prague 30 kilometers southwest and Mladá Boleslav 15 kilometers north, making it easily accessible for visitors.

The chateau housed an astronomical observatory established by Tycho Brahe in 1599 and later became a teaching residence for composer Bedřich Smetana.
