Postoloprty is a small town in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. The first written mention of the town dates from 1125. The city has an interesting name, whose origin is not yet clear. Probably comes from the composition of the old name for footwear (CZ: postol = škorne) and repair (CZ: prtat).
The most important landmarks of the city include the neo-gothic town hall, Renaissance chateau, baroque statues at Mírové nám. and a bridge (inundation viaduct).
