Why visit
Cítoliby is a market town of about 1,100 people with a Baroque church, a castle and a former waterworks within a few hundred metres of one another, and a musical line: the composers and organists Václav Jan Kopřiva (1708–1789) and his son Karel Blažej (1756–1785) are counted among its notable people.
Origins and history
Cítoliby is first mentioned in 1325, as royal property. It passed through several noble families, was looted repeatedly during the Thirty Years' War and burned almost entirely in 1698. The Schwarzenbergs acquired the estate in 1803, and in 1873 the village was promoted to market town. The Church of Saint James the Great was built in the Baroque style between 1713 and 1715; the castle, built in 1665, was rebuilt in the Baroque style before 1717 and is privately owned today.
