Neighboring towns are Komárno in the north, Drahelice and Zálabí in the northeast, Lada, Kovanice and Kopaník in the east, Hořátev in the southeast, Zvěřínek in the south, Sadská in the southwest, Hradištko in the west and Doubrava and Kostomlátky in the northwest.
history
The first written mention of Písty took place in 1338. In 1345 it was mentioned as one of the associated villages in the course of the elevation of the crown estates in Poděbrady to rule. During the Hussite Wars , the troops of Jan Žižka and Andreas Prokop occupied the place as a military hinterland. In 1525 Friedrich von Dohna sold the village to the city of Nymburk . Because of participation in the anti-Habsburg uprising, the property of Nymburk was confiscated in 1547. Ferdinand I gave Písty back to the Poděbrady rule. After the council of Nymburk had tried in vain to regain the village, a protracted dispute broke out in 1538 with the Poděbrady rule over the villages of Písty, Hořátev and Zvěřínek and the Komárno forest. In 1595 the Church of the Holy Spirit was built in Písty.
During the Thirty Years' War, in 1631 and 1634 Electoral Saxon and in 1643 Swedish and imperial troops invaded Písty and devastated the place. In the Seven Years' War the Prussians moved from Sadská to Nymburk and burned Hořátev and sacked Kovanice .
In 1786 the church was torn down and a Protestant prayer house was set up in house no. After the abolition of patrimonial Pisty formed a municipality in the Poděbrady district from 1850 . In the German War in 1866 the Prussians crossed the Elbe again near Písty and camped here. 597 men, 175 horses and 27 officers were billeted in the village.
In 1925 the village consisted of 81 houses and had 316 inhabitants. With the construction of the lock at Kostomlátky and the straightening of the Elbe , the meander of Písty was thrown off in 1933 and the river pool was abandoned. In 1936 the Výrovka , which until then flowed into the Elbe bend in Písty, received a new bed and its mouth was moved downstream under the Kostomlátky lock. Since 1949 the community belongs to Okres Nymburk.
