The parish church is one of the historic centre’s principal landmarks. Lysá nad Labem Castle and its park recall the town’s aristocratic past. Its railway station also reflects a practical regional role: Lysá nad Labem is an important rail junction in Central Bohemia. Together, the castle precinct, the church and the broad lowland setting give the town a settled character distinct from Prague’s denser urban fabric.
