History & geography

History

The first written mention of Lužec nad Vltavou is from 1223. The almost entire village was destroyed by the 1760 fire. In 1890 and 2002, Lužec nad Vltavou was badly damaged by floods.

Geography

Lužec nad Vltavou is located about west of Mělník and north of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Central Elbe Table. The municipality is situated on the left bank of the Vltava River. In 1902–1905, the artificial channed of the Vltava called Vraňansko-hořínský plavební kanál was built north of the village of Lužec nad Vltavou. Since then, both Lužec nad Vltavou and Chramostek have been almost entirely on an island called Lužecký ostrov. It is the only Czech municipality with such a location.
