The first written mention of Paskov is from 1267, in a deed of bishop Bruno von Schauenburg. At the end of the 13th century, a fortress was built here.[2]

The municipality became a town in 2011.[3]


Economy


Paskov was known for the Paskov Mine, where hard coal was mined from 1966 to 1999.[4]

The town is known for the industrial company Lenzing Biocel Paskov, a pulp producer which employs about 400 people.[5]


Sights


The main landmark is the Paskov Castle. The fortress was rebuilt into a Renaissance residence in the late 16th century. After the damage suffered in the Thirty Years' War, it was reconstructed in the Baroque style. The castle was nationalised after World War II and from 1950 to 2004 it housed an oncology hospital. Since 2013, the castle complex with a naturally valuable part of the castle park has been owned by the town. Today the building houses a museum and serves cultural and social purposes.[2]

The Baroque complex of the Church of Saint Lawrence was built in 1740–1746 and expanded in 1828.[6]
