Nový Bydžov (German Neubydžow , Neubidschow , older also Bishowe ) is a town with 7055 inhabitants in the Königgrätz region in the Czech Republic .

history

The city on the river Cidlina was founded in 1305 because of the lack of water in the old city of Bydschow , which was built on a hill and received its city rights. Your St. Laurentius parish church was built between 1305 and 1311. The royal city was later sold to Beneš von Wartenberg by the indebted King John of Bohemia . The Wartenberge held the city until it was sold to the Lords of Pernstein in 1515 . In 1569 the crown reacquired the fief city, which the Bohemian king then donated to his wife as a dowry. In the 18th century Nový Bydžov was elevated to the seat of the region named after it until the 20th century. At the time of the Habsburg Monarchy it was the seat of the political district of Neubydžow formed in 1868 .

The city center has been a monument protection area since 1987.
