Strategically important position of the town in the Western borderland of Bohemia decided of its importance, which grew up to 17th century, i.e. the period of the Thirty Years’ War. One of the most important events in the town’s history relates to that war. In 1634 Albrecht von Wallenstein, the generalissimo of Habsburg armies, was assassinated there. The town is proud of a complex of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque houses in the square which is ended by a complex of mercantile houses, called “Špalíček”, the berman framework house.
