History

Ratibořské Hory was founded in 1527 and further developed during the 16th century into a mining town because of growing mining activities, mostly of the silver ores. Mineworkers were coming from Ore Mountain Mining Region. After the Thirty Years' War a new rise in silver mining occurred after 1737 under lordship of the Schwarzenbergs and at the end of the 18th century the population reached its peak of over 2,000.[2]
