Mělník Excursion.

Visitors to Melník may wonder what all the hype is about. The surrounding region is largely industrial, and the town’s historical center is small. However, an afternoon at the Melník Chateau — with its Renaissance interiors and wine cellar — is worth the travel effort alone. The town lies at the intersection of the Labe and Vltava rivers, making it one of the country’s most important agricultural regions. Although most vineyards are located in Moravia, Melník is the wine-producing capital of Bohemia. Production has eventually taken place for centuries, and, each autumn, the town hosts a special festival to honor the tradition.

Melnik History

The most famous church of Melnik is the Church of St. Peter and Paul with its unique multicolored decoration of the gothic vault of presbytery and one of the most interesting charnel buildings in the Czech Republic.

There is a seat of the Regional Museum of Melnik in the building of the former monastery, which shows the medieval town, interiors of town and village houses and everyday life of villagers with examples of the historical architecture. Wonderful view of the town, the confluence of Labe and Vltava rivers, the memorable Rip Hill and Central Bohemia is available from the tower gallery in the Prague Gate.
