About Trebon
Trebon lies on the Zlatá Stoka (
visit link) in the Trebonská Pánev (Trebon Basin) in the Protected Landscape Area Trebonsko.
The history of the town dates back to the middle of the 12th century, when the settlement or the courtyard was founded on a trade route in this marshy country. Its Czech name is first mentioned in 1262. At that time the village was under the ownership of the Vítkovec family. Since the 13th century Trebon has been known as a town. It was fortified in the 14th century and it became property of the Rožmberks. They owned the town from 1366 till 1611, the period of its biggest growth. The development of pond culture in the 15th and 16th centuries was a very important part of this boom. The large system of ponds and canals was founded around Trebon (e.g. Svet pond ("World") lying on the outskirts of the town and Rožmberk pond, which is the largest pond in Bohemia). The famous builders of ponds Štepánek Netolický and Jakub Krcín worked as regents here at that time.
Trebon burnt down several times and it was hard damaged during the Thirty Years' War. Around 1640 the plague epidemic killed nearly all the population. In 1660 Trebon became property of the Schwarzenbergs, who started the renewal of the town. The town got a Baroque face. At the end of the 19th century the spa was founded in Trebon and peat was used for healing there. After the Second World War the development of the town started again and the spa was enlarged (after 1950) and rebuilt into the sanatorium for healing of muscles and joints.
