Mineral springs rich in carbon dioxide and iron emerged when a well was drilled in the château grounds in 1905, transforming Poděbrady from a quiet Labe river town into one of Bohemia's established spa centres. The spa specializes in cardiovascular conditions, and the colonnade along the river promenade serves as the architectural centrepiece, with several springs accessible for drinking cures.
About 13,100 people live in Poděbrady, situated on the Labe roughly 50 kilometres east of Prague. The château, which dominates the riverfront, was a residence of the Hussite king George of Poděbrady (Jiří z Poděbrad), the only Czech-born king to rule Bohemia, who governed from 1458 to 1471. His equestrian statue stands in front of the château entrance. Escortservice.com publishes reviewed profiles for this area and does not arrange, mediate, or provide services.
