Vysoké Mýto, Medieval town in Pardubice Region, Czech Republic

The historic center of Vysoké Mýto contains a two-hectare quadrangle square, making it the largest of its type in the Czech Republic.

King Ottokar II established Vysoké Mýto in 1265 as a trading center on the route between Bohemia and Moravia, where merchants paid tolls.

The Gothic Church of Saint Lawrence features restored stained glass windows and houses an altar masterpiece by Peter Brandl from the Baroque period.
