Geography

Benešov nad Ploučnicí is located about 7 kilometres (4 mi) southeast of Děčín and 21 km (13 mi) northeast of Ústí nad Labem. It lies in the Central Bohemian Uplands and within the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area. The highest point is the Hlídka hill at 480 m (1,570 ft) above sea level.

History

The first written mention of Benešov is from 1311. The town was probably founded in the 1230s. Existence of the church is first mentioned in 1352. During the Hussite Wars, the town was conquered by the Orebite army of Jan Roháč of Dubá. Half of the population was killed and the town burned down. After the war, the estate became property of the Wartenberg family.[2]

In 1511, the Wartenbergs sold Benešov to the Trčka of Lípa family. During the rule of Fridrich Trčka of Lípa in the first half of the 16th century, the town experienced its greatest development. He had rebuilt the local medieval castle into an aristocratic residence (today known as Horní Zámek) and had built a new castle for his son (today Dolní Zámek). Development continued in the second half of the 16th century, when Benešov was owned by the Salhausen family. After the last Salhausen died in 1620, the Benešov estate was divided between the Thun und Hohenstein and Clary und Aldringen families.[2]
