Kolín's Essential Landmarks

Kolín’s historic center showcases architectural evolution from the Gothic mastery of Peter Parler at St. Bartholomew’s Church to the Baroque elegance of the town’s plague column and ossuary. This selection highlights the city’s dual identity: its deep-rooted Jewish history, preserved in the 15th-century cemetery, and its industrial legacy represented by the unique 600mm narrow-gauge beet sugar railway. The list also includes significant ecclesiastical sites across the Elbe river and the Práchovna lookout tower.
