History


The first written mention of Dobrovice is from 1249. In 1541, lords of Chlum built a fortress in Dobrovice. In 1558, Dobrovice gained town rights and the fortress became a castle. Around 1610, the Renaissance town hall was built.[2]

There is a sugar factory in the town since 1831. It is the biggest and the oldest sugar factory in the Czech Republic, one of the oldest sugar factories in the world and the oldest one still working in its original premises.[3] Since 2004 the sugar factory holds the name of its owner, French conglomerate Tereos.
