We are inviting you to Litvínov, the town of about thirty thousand inhabitants, located in the southern part of the Ore Mountains (Krušné hory).

A small piedmont town with a church was already functioning in the half of the 14th century. The first record of 1352 mentions Litvínov in the Pope´s tax register. Based on the Pope´s edict the church had to levy a contribution to the king Charles VI of 6 groschens a year.

n essential change of Litvínov occurred when a unique cloth manufacture in Europe was established by count Jan Joseph Waldstein in 1715. In the same year Litvínov was raised to a township with the right to hold annual fair. People in Litvínov commemorate this event with a Waldstein Celebration on each May 1. Since 1852 Litvinov has got the status of a town.

The most important historical monument of Litvínov is the Church of St. Archangel Michael which was erected in the period of time 1685 to 1694 after the plan of the famous Baroque architect Jean-Baptiste Mathey. The Saint Archangel Michael is a patron of the town and Saint Archangel Michael Celebrations commemorate him. Another old monument is the Waldstein Castle built before 1727. The today´s shape comes from the reconstruction in the years 1732 to 1743 after the plan of the architect František Maxmilian Kaňka.
