Chlumec nad Cidlinou

Chlumec nad Cidlinou is a town with municipal privileges in the Hradec Králové District, organized across several districts named Chlumec I through IV alongside smaller settlements of Kladruby and Lučice. The area sits at about 223 meters elevation and functions as an independent municipality with its own authorized municipal office.

The town was first documented in 1235 under King Wenceslaus I and sat on an important trade route between Prague and Kłodzko Land. The Sternberg family ruled it until 1393, then the Pernštejns took over from 1521 and made significant expansions to the estate.

The Karlova Koruna Chateau dominates the town's character and its surrounding park invites exploration on foot. The place keeps this architecture as a key part of how residents and visitors experience their connection to the local past.

The town is best explored on foot, with the chateau and its park serving as central points of interest. The municipal office is available on-site if visitors need information or guidance about the area.

The Karlova Koruna Chateau was built in the early 1720s and stands as an architectural gem of the region. The castle's name reflects a past layered with religious and noble symbolism that the structure still carries today.
