In the Middle Ages the ironstone and the silver were mined around the town. The ore was processed into tools in the local iron-mills. In the 19th century there was a factory for the production of stockings in Kamenice, and in the 20th century there were a textile factory (produced mostly curtain materials and laces) and glassworks.
The very old and preserved lime tree grows in the park around the chateau. Its age is conjectured between 600 and 800 years.
