History & geography

History

The first written mention of Chlumec is from 1235 in a deed of King Wenceslaus I. It was located on a trade route from Prague to Kłodzko Land. The village of Lučice, part of Chlumec nad Cidlinou, was first mentioned in 1110. The Sternberg family owned Chlumec until 1393. During the first half of the 15th century, it belonged to the lords of Bergov, who had built a water castle here. After it belonged to various nobles and changed owners several times, it was acquired by the Pernštejn family in 1521. During their rule, the estate grew significantly and prospered. The castle was fortified and the new Church of Saint Ursula was built. In these times Chlumec was promoted to a town. In 1547, the Chlumec estate was bought by the royal chamber. From 1611, Chlumec belonged to the Kinsky family. During the Thirty Years' War, the town was conquered and looted repeatedly. It was badly damaged and the castle was destroyed. After several fires, the castle was not renewed and new aristocratic residence was built – the Karlova Koruna Chateau. In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the town recovered and crafts flourished. The town developed rapidly before World War I. Several public buildings were built, including the impressive Neo-Renaissance school.
