History
The first written mention of Hazlov is from 1224, when Bedřich of Hazlov was mentioned. He probably had built the castle in the village. The Lords of Hazlov owned the village until 1401, when it bought Mikuláš Jur of Cheb. Other owners of the village were the Landwüst family from 1450, the Kocov family from 1579, the Dětřichov family, and for a short time the Nostitz family. The next owners were the Moser family (1683–1795), who had rebuilt and extended the castle. The last noble owners of the castle were the Helmfeld family (1853–1945). Until the end of the 18th century, Hazlov was mostly an agricultural village. From the 19th century, the textile industry developed in the whole Aš region, including Hazlov. The first textile factory was opened in 1822.
