The town history dates back to the end of the 12th century when the construction of the Premonstratensian monastery started. In the 14th century it grew into the small town. The monastery was the main economic, cultural and ideological centre of the region at that time. It was closed down in the 18th century and the whole region declined. In the 19th century it became one of the poorest regions in Bohemia. A new flowering came after the Second World War.

On the wall ov New Town Hall is located several memorial plaques dedicated to victims of WWII.
