'''Dymokury''' ({{langx|de|Dimokur}}) is a municipality and village in [[Nymburk District]] in the [[Central Bohemian Region]] of the [[Czech Republic]]. It has about 900 inhabitants.
==Administrative parts==
The villages of Černá Hora and Svídnice are administrative parts of Dymokury.
==Geography==
Dymokury is located about {{convert|13|km|0}} northeast of [[Nymburk]] and {{convert|49|km|abbr=on}} west of [[Prague]]. It lies in the [[Central Elbe Table]]. Two streams, Pivovarský potok and Štítarský potok, flow through the municipality. The Štítarský potok supplies the Pustý Pond.
==History==
The first written mention of Dymokury is from 1249, when it was a possession of a local noble named Soběslav. In 1290, King [[Wenceslaus II of Bohemia|Wenceslaus II]] ceded the estates to the [[Cistercians|Cistercian]] monks of the [[Sedlec Abbey]] near [[Kutná Hora]]. After changing owners several times, the fief was purchased by the noble [[House of Waldstein]] in 1573, their successors had a [[Renaissance architecture|Renaissance]] castle erected from 1614 onwards.<ref name=history>{{cite web |title=Historie obce|url=https://www.dymokury.cz/historie-obce-1/|publisher=Obec Dymokury|language=cs|access-date=2022-07-04}}</ref>
Disseized by Emperor [[Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor|Ferdinand II]] after the 1620 [[Battle of White Mountain]], Dymokury was acquired by [[Albrecht von Wallenstein]], who nevertheless sold it to the Austrian [[Khuen von Belasi]] dynasty shortly afterwards. They resold it to [[Guillaume de Lamboy, Baron of Cortesheim]]. From 1673, the House of [[Colloredo-Mansfeld|Colloredo]] held the estate, which also included the neighbouring town of [[Městec Králové]]. They had the castle again rebuilt in a [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]] style, finished in 1787. The last noble owners were the [[Czernin family]], who were expropriated and [[Expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia|expelled]] after [[World War II]], but regained its possession. The castle was restored after the [[Velvet Revolution]] of 1989.<ref name=history/>
