Kladsko

The place below the castle of Kladsko was already called a town (urbs) in a charter of 1114.

In 1200 it is a castle with a market settlement on the road from Prague to Wrocław, with the Hospitallers' churches of St Mary (confirmed 1183) and St Wenceslas (1184). German town law comes in the thirteenth century.
