Geographyedit
Čachrov is located about 14 kilometres (9 mi) south of Klatovy and 52 km (32 mi) south of Plzeň. The northern part of the large municipal territory, which includes the Čachrov proper, lies in the Bohemian Forest Foothills. The southern part is forested and mountainous and lies in the Bohemian Forest. The highest point is near the top of the Polom mountain at 1,292 m (4,239 ft) above sea level. The territory is rich in streams. The main watercourse is the Ostružná River.
The central and western part of the municipal territory is protected as the Šumava Protected Landscape Area; the southern part belongs to the Šumava National Park.
Historyedit
The first written mention of Čachrov is from 1338, when the village was promoted to a market town. In the 1380s, Vilém of Čachrov had built here a fortress. His descendants owned Čachrov until 1446. Soon after that year, Čachrov was annexed to the Velhartice estate. In 1541, Čachrov became again a separate estate, owned by various lower noblemen.[2]
The I/27 road (part of the European route E53), which connects Klatovy with the Czech-German border in Železná Ruda, runs across the municipal territory.
Sightsedit
Čachrov Fortress
The main landmark of Čachrov is the Church of Saint Wenceslaus. It was built in the Gothic style in the 14th century, then it was modified in the 18th century. In 1804, the tower was added.[5]
An significant landmark is the original medieval late Gothic fortress. A Renaissance reconstruction took place around 1600 and an early Baroque manor house was attached to the fortress in 1712. Today it is in poor condition and inaccessible.[2][6]
The Church of Saint Anne is a valuable Baroque building located in Javorná. It was originally a chapel, built in 1698–1701. In 1718–1721, the western part with the two towers was added and it became a church.[7]
