Discover Dobrovice
Accommodation in Dobrovice
Dobrovice offers different perspectives on sugar production, local history and excursions. For your trip planning, consider the Dobrovická muzea, a historic church complex, several routes and the outdoor swimming pool. The variety of themes, route lengths and visiting conditions can help you plan your stay around your own interests.
Sugar-Making Traditions and the Dobrovická muzea
Sugar has been produced continuously in Dobrovice since 1831. The Dobrovická muzea focus on sugar production, distilling, sugar beet cultivation and the history of Dobrovice. A guided tour covers exhibitions on sugar production, distilling and sugar beet cultivation. Agricultural and industrial themes are presented side by side, while local history is another focus of the museum complex.
The area around Dobrovice also has a special place in Czech cultivation history: it is described as the birthplace of sugar beet cultivation in Czechia. This connection gives cultivation its own place among the museums’ themes, alongside processing. If you are interested in the region’s sugar-making traditions, you can include both the agricultural side and production and distilling in your travel plans.
During the molasses campaign, visitors aged six and over can tour the Tereos TTD, a.s. industrial distillery in Dobrovice. This tour is seasonal; availability and booking arrangements may change. If you plan to visit, check the conditions for your preferred date.
Church Complex and Observation Tower
East of Dobrovice’s main square, the Church of St. Bartholomew, the former cemetery and its enclosure form a unified complex. The former cemetery is therefore part of the ensemble described here. The church, cemetery and enclosure offer another cultural and historical point of interest alongside the sugar-making traditions and museums.
Another stop to consider when planning your visit is the observation tower of Dobrovice Town Hall. It is open every weekday during the information centre’s opening hours. Groups can also visit on weekends by prior arrangement. If you are planning a weekend visit, make arrangements in advance. As access arrangements may change, it is a good idea to check the latest conditions before your visit.
