Brandýs nad Labem is a town in the Central Bohemian. You can find this bridge next to castle.
The castle in Brandýs nad Labem belongs to one of the most important Renaissance monuments in the Czech Republic. It served as a seat of caesars and it also used to be a summer hunting seat of Czech monarchs. During six centuries, all the caesars from the Habsburk family visited the castle. Originally a Gothic castle from the 14th century became in 1547 a property of the Czech royal house and a hunting seat of caesar Ferdinand I. The city of Brandýs nad Labem became in 1581 a royal town, because the castle was a favourite place of the caesar Rudolf II. There are many Renaissance, Gothic and Baroque monuments.
