The royal town of Louny was founded by Premyslovci in the middle of 13th century on two major traffic arteries - a water artery represented by Ohfe river and a terrestrial road from Prague to Norimberk or Leipzig. However, around the 11 th -12th century, there was a settlement called Luna, where today's St. Peter's Church, which was build in the middle of 15th century, is located. Significant landmarks from the end of the same century, such as fortifications with bastions, the Zatec Gate, the Chapel of Mother of God and the Sokolu z Mor (Sokol of Mory) house, are preserved.

Gargoyles is located on Gothic House of Sokols of Mory, nowadays the seat of District Museum in the Louny.
