Özet

Kutna Hora became one of the most important cities in the Middle Ages thanks to its rich deposits of silver ores. The city still contains its rich mining past in its name today. The importance of this deposit led to the city developing very intensively, especially thanks to King Vaclav II. This sovereign contributed to the creation of a major mining law Ius regale montanorum and also moved the central mint to this city. New coins - Prague groschen - were minted there. The profits from silver mining and coinage have been significantly reflected in the still admired and valuable architecture of this mining town. The beauty of these preserved monuments greatly exceeds national significance and the town also offers original examples of mining works, which belongs to a sought after tourist destinations. Therefore, some of these monuments were inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1995.
