Dvůr Králové nad Labem (Czech pronunciation: [ˈdvuːr ˈkraːlovɛː ˈnad labɛm], German: Königinhof an der Elbe) is a town in Trutnov District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic.

Dvůr Králové nad Labem consists of six municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):[2] The town's name means "Queen's court on the Elbe".

It lies mostly in the eastern tip of the Jičín Uplands; the northern part of the municipal territory extends into the Giant Mountains Foothills.

A settlement with a small church was founded as guard point on a military trail to Silesia probably in the second half of the 12th century.

[3] During the Thirty Years' War, Dvůr Králové was repeatedly looted and damaged, and experienced decline.

[3] Until 1918, the town was part of Austria-Hungary, head of the Königshof an der Elbe – Dvůr Králové nad Labem District, one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.

[3] On 16 September 1817, Václav Hanka allegedly discovered a manuscript appearing to be from the 13th century in the tower of a local church.

The Manuscript of Dvůr Kralové, probably in fact created by Hanka, was intended to help Czech patriots in the struggle against German culture.

Other sights of the square include Art Nouveau savings bank from 1909–1910, Baroque marian column from 1754, and a fountain from 1857.
