Libiš is a municipality and village in Mělník District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,400 inhabitants.
The name was derived from the personal name Libich.[2]
Libiš is located about north of Prague and creates a conurbation with the neighbouring town of Neratovice. It lies in a flat landscape in the Central Elbe Table. The Elbe River flows along the municipal border. Part of the Úpor – Černínovsko Nature Reserve is located in the municipal territory.
The first written mention of Libiš is from 1323. Until the end of World War I, it was purely an agricultural village.[3]
A large part of the premises of the Spolana chemical factory is located in the territory of Libiš.
The I/9 road (the section that connects the D8 motorway with Mělník) passes through the municipality.
There are two churches in Libiš. The Church of Saint James the Great was built in the Gothic style in 1391 and modified in the 16th and 17th centuries. A separate wooden bell tower stands next to the church.[4]
The Evangelical church was built in the Baroque style in 1789–1803.[5]
