Understand

thumb|Mladá Boleslav Castle The castle, founded in the second half of the 10th century by Prince Boleslav the Pious, formed the core of the city's development. In the 16th century, Mladá Boleslav became a center for the Bohemian Brothers, who founded a bishopric here, but re-Catholicization took place as early as the 17th century. With industrialization, automobile manufacturing also developed (today Škoda Auto as, now part of the VW Group). The city has around 44,500 inhabitants (2019).
