Nymburk

Nymburk is a district town in Central Bohemia situated along the Elbe River, combining Gothic brick structures with modern municipal buildings and residential areas. The town layout shows the medieval core at its center, with the river providing natural boundaries to its development.

The town was founded around 1275 by King Ottokar II and was fortified with defensive walls to protect the route toward Prague. This early investment in fortification helped establish it as an important regional center.

The Church of Saint Giles with its Gothic brick towers dominates the town center and shows how medieval craftsmanship shaped local architecture. The church remains the focal point where residents and visitors naturally gather throughout the year.

The town is located on a railway line with connections to major centers and is served by the I/38 road linking across the region. Visitors can navigate the area easily and reach nearby destinations conveniently.

A local brewery has been producing beer here since the late 1800s and became a major employer in the town's economy. The brewing craft remains an important part of local identity and continues to operate today.
