Vrbno was founded probably in the 11th or 12th century in the area inhabited since the 5th millennium before Christ . Mentioned for the first time in 1241 it was the possession of the Queens of Bohemia who owned the castle of Mělník . Then in the 14th century it was enlarged by Queen Elisabeth of Bohemia , the wife of John of Bohemia , and divided between the Queen ’s dominion of Mělník and the local noble family which sold its possession to the Knights of the Cross of the Red Star . This division remained unchanged till the Revolution of 1848 , and then Vrbno became a municipality with three cadastral areas . In 1932 there lived 496 permanent residents . Because of the decreasing number of inhabitants , it was united with adjacent municipalities of Hořín and Brozánky in 1960 . During the European floods in 2002 the whole village was flooded , many buildings seriously damaged , the third part of addresses destroyed . Nevertheless , the centre of Vrbno was put on the list of the Village Monuments Areas in 2004 . For its untouched picturesque atmosphere Vrbno became a place where many movies were taken , e.g. about Jules Maigret and '' Les Misérables ''
