Geography
Sadská is located about 6 kilometres (4 mi) southwest of Nymburk and 30 km (19 mi) east of Prague. It lies in the Central Elbe Table lowland within the Polabí region. The highest point of the municipal territory is a hill in the centre of the town with an altitude of 215 m (705 ft). The Šembera River flows southeast of the town, and the Elbe forms short part of the northern municipal border. In the northern part of the territory there is Sadská Lake, which was created by flooding a sand quarry.
History
The first written mention of Sadská is in the foundation document of the Břevnov Monastery from 993. A royal castle was built on a hill above the town to protect the country road. In 1118–1120, Duke Bořivoj II had built the Church of Saint Apollinaris with a chapter. Until the mid-13th century, monarchs used to go to Sadská for entertainment and hunting. In 1262, the seat was moved to Poděbrady, only the chapter remained. A hundred years later, Charles IV transferred the chapter to New Town of Prague, and the golden times of Sadská came to an end.[2]
A convent was founded here, but it was burned down during the Hussite Wars. A new propsperity began in 1562, when Sadská was promoted to a market town by Ferdinand I. During the 17th century, the castle disappeared as a result of the Thirty Years' War and several large fires. In 1784, Sadská was promoted to a town by Joseph II.[2]
