The villages of Krásné Údolí, Lažany, Lhota, Ostrovce, Pytlov, Třebel, Víchov and Záhoří are administrative parts of Černošín.
Etymologyedit
The name of the town is probably derived from the personal name Černoš, who was a local lord.[2]
Geographyedit
Černošín is located about 18 kilometres (11 mi) east of Tachov and 36 km (22 mi) west of Plzeň. It lies in the Plasy Uplands. The highest point is the hill Vlčí hora at 704 m (2,310 ft) above sea level. The Mže River flows along the southern municipal border. Its tributary, the stream of Kosí potok, forms the western municipal border before it joins the Mže.
Historyedit
The first written mention of Černošín is from 1155, but this document has not been preserved. The next mention of Černošín is from 1290. From the 14th to the 17th century, it was owned by the Schwamberg family. In 1541, Černošín was promoted to a town. After the town obtained various rights and privileges in 1551, it became an important trade and craft centre. The development was stopped by the Thirty Years' War, during which the town was heavily damaged and depopulated. In the middle of the 17th century, the town received new privileges and was resettled by German immigrants.[2]
The main landmark of Černošín is the Church of Saint James the Great. It was built in the Baroque style in 1711–1736, on the site of an old Gothic church from the 14th century.[5]
A tourist destination is the ruin of the Volfštejn Castle, located in the woods at the foot of Vlčí hora. It was built in the middle of the 13th century, the first written mention dates from 1316. It was destroyed during the battles of King George of Poděbrady with the opposition in 1470. The best-preserved part is the bergfried with a Romanesque arched portal. Today the ruin is freely accessible.[6]
