History & geography

History

The first written mention of Jince is from 1352. Iron ore was mined and processed here for several centuries. The first blast furnace is documented in 1646. From 1647 to 1805, the Jince estate was owned by the Wratislaw of Mitrovice family. They were forced to sell the estate due to debts. From 1805, Jince was owned by the Vrbna family, who annexed it to the Hořovice estate. In 1900, Jince was promoted to a market town.
