Economy

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.[5] Since 2004 the sugar factory holds the name of its owner, French conglomerate Tereos.

Transport

Dobrovice is located near the D10 motorway from Prague to Turnov, which briefly runs along the northwestern municipal border.

Sights

Palackého Square with the town hall

The late Renaissance town hall was built in 1610 and reconstructed in 1674, after it was damaged by fire. Its tower is a landmark of the town square and today serves as a lookout tower for public.[2][6]

The Church of Saint Bartholomew was built in the Renaissance-Gothic style in 1559–1571. It is a valuable sacral area with a number of quality sculptures. The Baroque rectory dates from 1709.[2][7]

The sugar factory opened museums of sugar production, ethanol production and sugar beet processing in May 2010.[8]
