History
Český Dub belongs to the oldest settlements in North Bohemia. The first written mention of Český Dub is from 1115. It was founded as a market settlement on a trade route, on an elevated spot between small rivers of Ještědka and Rašovka. In 1237, Český Dub became a property of Havel of Markvartice. He had built here a fortified monastery for the Order of Knights Hospitaller with the Chapel of Saint John the Baptist. In the mid-15th century, the town was destroyed by fires and by the Lusatian army. Jan of Vartenberg had rebuilt the town in 1490. In 1552, the monastery and the late Gothic castle were rebuilt to a representative Renaissance castle. The castle burned down in 1858. In the middle of the 19th century, the town became a centre of the textile industry thanks to the entrepreneur Franz von Schmitt. He also had built a Neo-Renaissance castle in the town.
Geography
Český Dub is located about south of Liberec. The southeastern part of the municipal territory with the town proper lies in the Jičín Uplands and the northwestern part lies in the Ralsko Uplands. The highest point is a nameless hill at above sea level. The town is situated at the confluence of the Ještědka and Rašovka streams. The Ještědka then heads to the Mohelka River, which flows through the southern part of the municipal territory.
