Geographyedit
Čelákovice is located about 15 kilometres (9 mi) east of Prague. It lies in the Central Elbe Table, in the Polabí lowlands. The town is situated on the left bank of the Elbe River.
Historyedit
The site of the town has been inhabited since the Stone Age. During the 9th century, an early Slavic settlement was established. The first written mention of Čelákovice is from 1290. The inhabitants subsisted on fishing and agriculture, and from the mid-19th century also on the production of baskets.[2]
The engineering factory known as TOS (Továrna obráběcích strojů) was founded in 1910. It remains the largest industrial plant in the town.

Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary
Around 1300, a stone fortress was built here. The fortress, reconstructed in 1973–1982 in the Gothic–Renaissance style, serves today as the town museum.[2]
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was originally a Romanesque structure, rebuilt in the Renaissance style in the 16th century and in the Baroque style in 1708–1712.[2]
The landmark of the town square is the town hall. It was built in the neo-Baroque style in 1911.[5]
