History


Prašivice Castle
Prašivice Castle

The first written mention of Nalžovy is from 1379.[2]

Stříbrné Hory was founded in 1521 as a mining settlement and in 1530 it became a market town. The mining of silver, lead and tin ended in 1585.[2]

On a place of former keep documented in 1380, a Renaissance Nalžovy Castle was built in 1618–1620. In 1745 it was modified to Baroque style.[3]

In 1769 the Ellischau estates were acquired by Nicholas Taaffe, 6th Viscount Taaffe, chamberlain to Empress Maria Theresa, from the compensation he had received for his seized Irish possessions. The Viscounts Taaffe had an artificial ruin resembling their former Irish family home, Ballymote Castle, built in the nearby Prašivice Forest about 1840.[citation needed]

Incorporated into the Austrian Empire in 1804, Ellischau and Silberberg from 1850 formed two separate municipalities within the district of Klatovy. Silberberg was promoted to a town in 1853.[citation needed]

Part of the First Czechoslovak Republic from 1918, Ellischau Castle was finally sold by Richard Taaffe (1898–1967) in 1936.

The municipality was established in 1952 by the merger of Stříbrné Hory (German: Silberberg) with Nalžovy (German: Ellischau).[2] It regained the town statute in 2007.
