May 2017 Mělník Castle, Czech republic Mělník a smaller town in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It lies at the confluence of the Labe and Vltava rivers, to biggest Czech rivers, approximately 35 km north of Prague. In the 5th and 6th century many Slavonic tribes lived here, and the tribe of Pšovans created its main settlement in Mělník. Saint Ludmila (the grandmother of the legendary Czech king Saint Wenceslaws), who married the Bohemian prince Bořivoj belonged to this tribe. In November 1274 Mělník gained the statute of town from king Přemysl Otakar II. and later became a dowry town belonging to queens of Bohemia. The Mělník castle standing over the rivers confluence belongs to the most important sights of this town. The castle is built in the Renaissance style. Below the castle there are large wine cellars. The St. Peter and St. Paul's Church from the end of 15th century with its 60 meters high tower with Baroque dome gives the iconic view of the city from the rivers and surroundings.
