The town of Roudnice nad Labem would be one of the most usual Bohemian settlements with the same town hall in the Central square and the city Church, if he hadn't served as a starting point for the journey to the sacred for all Czechs mount říp, which, according to legend, started the Czech land. So here come those travelers who are planning an ascent of mount říp. Some of them are a little late to see the local sights.

Roudnice nad Labem offers several historical sites that are open to the public. Among them and the Augustinian monastery, which was built in the Gothic style in 1333. It was rebuilt several times, adapting to the needs of the monks, with the result that he acquired the Baroque features and in this form came to our time. Unfortunately, the monastic brethren in the monastery there, and worship in it are not held. But it is gladly demonstrate to the visitors who can see the murals on the walls, which were decorated in the Gothic style, and carved furniture of the fourteenth century. A visit to the monastery is possible by appointment.

Another attraction of Roudnice nad Labem is an art gallery which displays a collection of paintings by Czech artists who worked in the XIX-XX centuries. It occupies the former stables of the local castle, originally built by the aristocratic family of Lobkowicz. The castle survived until our days. Now he is in the military, so to get on its territory will be very difficult.
