Town History :
The first written mention of the town is from 1279. It was established
by the lords of Rosenberg in the 13th century, but in 1380 it already appears
as a small township with its own seal. After the Rosenbergs died out, the
town passed into the ownership of the lords of Švamberk, from whom it was
seized in 1620 due to a revolt and given to Karel Bonaventura Buquoy.
Tales and legends :
When the Virgin Mary was wandering through the town, she stepped up
onto a large stone to look around. The stone broke and formed a crack which
has been growing wider ever since. When the fissure becomes wide enough
for a loaded vehicle to pass through, it will be the end of the world.

Description :
on a blue shield is a five-posted silver pallisade weaved with horizontal
sticks. Behind the pallisade, two rotund silver two-storeyed towers stand
out with a cornice between both storeys. The towers culminate with a five-shadowed
battlement and a pointed red roof with gold poppies. Between the towers
is a red five-petaled rose with a golden center and green calixtine leaves.
