Horní Blatná (literally meaning Upper Marsh Village), a small town with a long mining tradition, is situated in the picturesque countryside at the foot of Blatenský vrch (Blatná Hill) in the Ore Mountains. It was founded near rich tin deposits by Johann Friedrich, Elector of Saxony, in 1532. The original mining settlement soon became one of the most important tin mining centres on our territory.

The small town had a regular layout typical for the Renaissance period and it was built according to a premeditated plan, with designated locations for a church, town hall, hospital, as well as other buildings. The town was originally located on the territory of Saxony and it became a part of the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1546. Mining activities paralyzed by the Thirty Years War were renewed in a small extent in the 18th century, nonetheless, the yields did not meet expectations, and thus, they soon ceased altogether.
