===Early history===
[[File:Masarykovo nám.JPG|thumb|Masarykovo Square]]
[[File:Zámek Pelhřimov 02.JPG|thumb|Pelhřimov Castle]]
The earliest settlement, in the first half of the 13th century, was probably near St. Vitus church and in Hrnčiřská street. In 1289 it was raided by Vítek of Hluboká. In 1290 King [[Wenceslaus II of Bohemia|Wenceslaus II]] granted Bishop Tobiáš of Bechyně a concession to renovate the town and fortify it with ramparts. The town was first settled mainly by German colonists. Gradually Czechs established themselves as the majority. In the [[Hussite Wars]], Pelhřimov sided with the [[Hussites]] and even provided one of their spiritual leaders, Mikuláš (Nicholas) Biskupec of Pelhřimov.

The favourable position of the town, on the borderline of the domain of the Rožmberks and of the lords of Kunštát, was important after the upheavals ended and the reconciliation of the lords began. In 1446-1450 Pelhřimov was chosen as the venue of land diets (parliaments or deliberative councils), attended in person even by King Jiří of Poděbrady. Silver mining, in the vicinity of [[Křemešník]], helped the expansion of Pelhřimov. Many crafts flourished in the town: drapers and clothiers, weavers, dyers, gingerbread makers and brewers. In 1434 the town passed into the hands of the Lords Trček of Lípa, who sold the estate in 1550 to Adam Říčanský of Říčany, who built a castle in the immediate vicinity of the town ramparts.

In 1446–1450, Pelhřimov was chosen as the venue of land diets (parliaments or deliberative councils), which were attended by King [[George of Poděbrady]]. Silver mining in the vicinity of [[Křemešník]] helped the expansion of Pelhřimov. The crafts flourished in the town. In 1434 the town was acquired by the Lords Trčka of Lípa. They sold the estate in 1550 to Adam Říčanský of Říčany, who had built a castle adjacent to the town walls. The Lords of Říčany resided in the castle until 1572, when the town bought its freedom.<ref name=history/>


However, the lords of Říčany did not reside at the castle for long. Adam's son Karel systematically interfered with the rights of the burghers and was involved in endless disputes with them. Finally, in 1572, the town bought its freedom. In 1596 Emperor Rudolf II elevated Pelhřimov to a royal town. The repressions that followed the Uprising of the Estates interrupted the promising expansion of the town. The disaster was completed by a huge fire in 1646, which laid waste most of the town's buildings. Paradoxically, Pelhřimov should now be grateful for the fires, because they contributed to the town's present homogeneity. Another devastating fire ravaged the town in 1766; thanks to it, the town houses are uniformly Renaissance-Baroque.
In 1596, Emperor [[Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor|Rudolf II]] promoted Pelhřimov to a royal town. The repressions that followed the [[Bohemian Revolt]] interrupted the promising expansion of the town. The town was then severely damaged by a large fire in 1646, which destroyed most of the town's buildings. Another devastating fire ravaged the town in 1766. The burgher houses were uniformly reconstructed in the [[Renaissance architecture|Renaissance]]-[[Baroque architecture|Baroque]] style and so the fires helped the town to maintain its homogeneity.<ref name=history/>


During the 19th century, the town has experienced cultural development as a result of the national revival. Patriotic associations, theatre and singing ensembles were founded. The salt house from 1707 was reconstructed as the National House and is today the Pelhřimov Theatre. In the second half of the 19th century, the industrialization occurred. It was represented especially by brush-making, hosiery and the production of agricultural implements.<ref name=history/>
===19th and 20th century===
[[File:Pelhrimov Nepomucky.JPG|thumb|The sculpture of St. John of Nepomuk]]
The national revival affected Pelhřimov, just as it affected all other towns in the country. Some of the patriotic associations founded during that period continue their activities until today. The Záboj choir was founded in 1862, Sokol in 1865, the Readers' circle in 1874 and Rieger, an amateur dramatic group, in 1894.{{citation needed|date=May 2012}} The salt house built in 1707 was reconstructed as the National House and is today the Pelhřimov Theatre.{{citation needed|date=May 2012}}


A [[Gothic Revival architecture|neo-Gothic]] synagogue was built in 1890 in Růžová street according to the design by the architect Max Fleischer. The synagogue was demolished in 1967.<ref>{{cite web |title=Synagoga|url=https://www.pamatkovykatalog.cz/synagoga-2301666|publisher=National Heritage Institute|language=cs|access-date=2024-11-28}}</ref>
The 19th century brought an expansion of industry, principally brush-making, hosiery and the production of agricultural implements. In addition to these industries there was a long tradition of brewing. Beer has been brewed in Pelhřimov since 1552, when the town was granted the privilege of doing so.

[[File:Rynárecká brána - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Rynárec Gate]]
The historic town centre is formed by Masaryk Square with adjacent streets. It was surrounded by stone walls. Parts of the walls survided to this day.
;Chateau of the Lords of Říčany
Originally, it may have been a Gothic construction of a tower-like character probably from the 15th century. Some remnants have been preserved in the so-called Gothic Hall on the ground floor of the chateau, showing that was part of the municipal fortification system. New parts were added in 1550–1551, when Pelhřimov was owned by Adam Říčanský of Ricany. After the great fire of 1561, this part of the chateau was incorporated into the extensive Renaissance structure, having two storeys.


===Masaryk Square===
After the fire of 1682, significant modifications were made in the Baroque style. The changes also involved the Salt Gate, and a new staircase and jail were added. In 1707 a salt-house was built, which is now the Municipal Theatre, in the immediate vicinity of the chateau. The great fire of 1766 destroyed the chateau, too. After the reconstruction which was begun the next year, the chateau gained the appearance, which has survived to this day in its original form (with the exception of some minor decorative alterations). Between the years 1849 and 1907 it was the seat of the District Court, since 1908 it has housed exhibitions of the District Museum.
[[File:Pelhřimov, Masarykovo náměstí (západní strana).jpg|thumb|Masaryk Square]]
The town square is lined by well-preserved valuable [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]] and [[Renaissance architecture|Renaissance]] houses with arcades and decorated gables, and contains also [[Art Nouveau]] buildings. The Šrejnar's House was built in the Renaissance style in 1614. It houses a tourist information centre and the Memorial Hall of the Lipský Family. The Fára's House with Baroque [[façade]] and a [[mansard roof]] was rebuilt under a project by the architect [[Pavel Janák]] in the [[Cubism|Cubist]] style in 1913–1914.<ref name=sights>{{cite web |title=Sights and Monuments|url=https://www.pelhrimovsko.cz/en/about-pelhrimov/sights-and-monuments/sights-and-monuments.htm|publisher=Město Pelhřimov|access-date=2024-11-28}}</ref>


The Burgrave's House No. 17 was reconstructed after the fire in 1561. It features Renaissance, [[Neoclassical architecture|Neoclassical]] and [[Empire style|Empire]] elements. The façade is decorated with [[Sgraffito|sgraffiti]]. Today, there is an art gallery and a museum of [[Bogeyman|bugaboos]] in its premises.<ref name=sights/><ref>{{cite web |title=Muzeum strašidel Pelhřimov|url=https://www.kudyznudy.cz/aktivity/muzeum-strasidel-pelhrimov|publisher=CzechTourism|language=cs|access-date=2024-11-28}}</ref>
;Church of St. Bartholomew
This Gothic building was founded in the late 13th or the beginning of the 14th century. Since 1589 the church exterior shell has been defaced with graffiti. The main Baroque altar and depiction of Calvary, designed by František Bílek, is inside the church.


In the middle of the square is a fountain with the statue of St. [[James the Great]]. The fountain was first mentioned in 1546 and the present-day appearance is from 1828.<ref name=sights/>
;Church of Saint Vitus
It is the oldest church in Pelhřimov and the former parish church. It was originally built in the Gothic style, which is still evident in the presbytery. During the Hussite wars, in 1422, Pelhřimov fell into the hands of the [[Taborite]]s, and [[Utraquist]] masses were served here. The vaulting and walls of the church interior show scenes from the life and martyr's death of St. Vitus, as well as allegories of Faith, Hope and Charity. Nowadays the church is used as an exhibition and concert hall.


===Town fortification===
;Church of the Holy Cross (Calvary)
[[File:Městské opevnění Pelhřimov 07.JPG|thumb|Remnants of the town fortification]]
In 1671 the burgher and alderman Jan Kryštof Blažejovský and his spouse Dorota had a small chapel built near the town. The structure consisted of an ante-chapel, chapel and a replica of the Holy Sepulchre. In 1865 the town council decided to demolish the structure and build a new church. Dean P. Vojtěch Holý had been raising donations for several years. The project by the local builder J. Štěcha was implemented between 1883 and 1886.{{citation needed|date=May 2012}} The church built in the Neogothic style faces the town with a high tower.
The Renaissance castle from 1550 replaced an old manor house. Its oldest part is a [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] bastion, incorporated into the castle after the fire in 1561. One of the three preserved town gates is also part of the castle. Significant reconstructions were made after the castle was damaged by fires in 1682 and 1766. Since then, the castle has undergone only minor decorative alterations.<ref>{{cite web |title=Castle of the lords of Říčany|url=https://www.pelhrimovsko.cz/en/about-pelhrimov/sights-and-monuments/castle-of-the-lords-of-ricany.htm|publisher=Město Pelhřimov|access-date=2021-10-21}}</ref> Since 1908, it houses the Vysočina Museum Pelhřimov.

;Chapel of the Virgin Dolores
In 1658 the burgrave (mayor) of Pelhřimov, Jan Eusebius, had a devotional pillar erected on this site. After Pelhřimov had experienced cases of alleged miraculous healing, accredited to the picture of Virgin Dolores placed on the pillar, a chapel was built on the site by burgher Tobiáš Grötzel in 1710–1714. The pilgrimage site was closed in the reign of Josephine. The crypt of the chapel used to be a burial place for members of burgher families. The town cemetery was transferred here from the Church of Saint Vitus in 1787 and was used up to 1906.

Etymology

[edit]

The name Pelhřimov is derived from the personal name Pelhřim (in Latin Peregrinus), meaning "Pelhřim's (court)". In Latin, the word peregrinus literally means 'stranger'.[2] According to legend, Pelhřimov was founded by Bishop Pelhřim (Peregrinus) of Wartenberg around 1225.[3]

Geography

[edit]
General view

Pelhřimov's municipal territory of about 95 km2 (37 sq mi) is one of the largest for a town in the Czech Republic. The town is located about 37 kilometres (23 mi) west of Jihlava, approximately halfway between Prague and Brno.

Pelhřimov lies in the Křemešník Highlands. The highest point of the municipal territory is a contour line in the southeastern part, at 700 m (2,300 ft) above sea level. The municipal territory is located in the valley of the small river Bělá, which flows through the built-up area. Typical for the territory is a large number of small fishponds.

History

[edit]
Painting of Pelhřimov by Vojtěch Benedikt Juhn from the first half of the 19th century
Pelhřimov Castle

The earliest settlement was probably founded in first half of the 13th century near the Church of Saint Vitus. The first written mention of Pelhřimov is from 1289, when it was raided by Vítek of Hluboká. In 1290, King Wenceslaus II granted Bishop Tobiáš of Bechyně a concession to renovate the town and fortify it. The town was first settled mainly by German colonists. Gradually Czechs established themselves as the majority.[4]

In the Hussite Wars, Pelhřimov sided with the Hussites. The favourable position of the town, on the borderline of the domain of the Rosenberg family and of the Lords of Kunštát, was important after the upheavals ended and the reconciliation of the lords began. In 1446–1450, Pelhřimov was chosen as the venue of land diets (parliaments or deliberative councils), which were attended by King George of Poděbrady. Silver mining in the vicinity of Křemešník helped the expansion of Pelhřimov. The crafts flourished in the town. In 1434 the town was acquired by the Lords Trčka of Lípa. They sold the estate in 1550 to Adam Říčanský of Říčany, who had built a castle adjacent to the town walls. The Lords of Říčany resided in the castle until 1572, when the town bought its freedom.[4]

In 1596, Emperor Rudolf II promoted Pelhřimov to a royal town. The repressions that followed the Bohemian Revolt interrupted the promising expansion of the town. The town was then severely damaged by a large fire in 1646, which destroyed most of the town's buildings. Another devastating fire ravaged the town in 1766. The burgher houses were uniformly reconstructed in the Renaissance-Baroque style and so the fires helped the town to maintain its homogeneity.[4]

During the 19th century, the town has experienced cultural development as a result of the national revival. Patriotic associations, theatre and singing ensembles were founded. The salt house from 1707 was reconstructed as the National House and is today the Pelhřimov Theatre. In the second half of the 19th century, the industrialization occurred. It was represented especially by brush-making, hosiery and the production of agricultural implements.[4]

A neo-Gothic synagogue was built in 1890 in Růžová street according to the design by the architect Max Fleischer. The synagogue was demolished in 1967.[5]

Pelhřimov is a regional industrial centre, represented especially by the food industry, engineering and consumer goods manufacture.

The largest local company is Agrostroj, which manufactures agricultural machinery. It was founded in 1896 and employs more than 1,500 people.[8][9] Other manufacturing companies based in the town are Spojené kartáčovny (SPOKAR), a major producer of brushes; Rimowa, a manufacturer of luggages; a branch of Koh-i-Noor Hardtmuth, a company that makes art supplies and office equipment; and FIA ProTeam, a manufacturer of painting tools.[9]

The food industry mainly processes crops produced in the region. Škrobárny Pelhřimov is a potato starch factory that was founded in 1871.[10] A local branch of the dairy company Madeta has been producing boxed milk in Pelhřimov since 1942.[11] Adélka, a bakery founded in 1990, is producing baked goods and flour and employs almost 300 people.[12] ZZN Pelhřimov, a part of the Agrofert conglomerate, produces fodder for farm animals and employs more than 250 people.[9][13] The Poutník Brewery has been brewing beer in the town since 1552.

Pelhřimov lies at the intersection of two primary roads: the I/19, which connects Pelhřimov with Plzeň, and the I/34 from České Budějovice to Svitavy.

Pelhřimov is located on the Jihlava–Tábor railway line. There are two railway stations: Pelhřimov and Vlásenice.[14]

During the National Revival, various patriotic associations were formed in Pelhřimov and managed to maintain their continuity to this day. Záboj, a local choir company, was founded in 1862. In 1865, a local branch of Sokol gymnastic organization was established. The library was founded in 1846 and the Rieger amateur theatre group was formed in 1894.[4]

The Vesmír Cinema was built in 1962.[15]

Since 1991, the town hosts an annual International Festival of Records and Curiosities.[16] The Dobrý den Agency, which organizes the festival, also maintains the Czech Database of Records and publishes Czech Book of Records, a national equivalent of Guinness World Records.

Rynárec Gate

The historic town centre is formed by Masaryk Square with adjacent streets. It was surrounded by stone walls. Parts of the walls survided to this day.

Masaryk Square

[edit]

The town square is lined by well-preserved valuable Baroque and Renaissance houses with arcades and decorated gables, and contains also Art Nouveau buildings. The Šrejnar's House was built in the Renaissance style in 1614. It houses a tourist information centre and the Memorial Hall of the Lipský Family. The Fára's House with Baroque façade and a mansard roof was rebuilt under a project by the architect Pavel Janák in the Cubist style in 1913–1914.[20]

The Burgrave's House No. 17 was reconstructed after the fire in 1561. It features Renaissance, Neoclassical and Empire elements. The façade is decorated with sgraffiti. Today, there is an art gallery and a museum of bugaboos in its premises.[20][21]

In the middle of the square is a fountain with the statue of St. James the Great. The fountain was first mentioned in 1546 and the present-day appearance is from 1828.[20]

Town fortification

[edit]
Remnants of the town fortification

The Renaissance castle from 1550 replaced an old manor house. Its oldest part is a Gothic bastion, incorporated into the castle after the fire in 1561. One of the three preserved town gates is also part of the castle. Significant reconstructions were made after the castle was damaged by fires in 1682 and 1766. Since then, the castle has undergone only minor decorative alterations.[22] Since 1908, it houses the Vysočina Museum Pelhřimov. Its exhibitions focuses on regional history and ethnography, town jail and torture instruments, and work of local artists Josef Šejnosta (sculptor and medalist) and his son Zdeněk Šejnosta (sculptor and restorer).[23]

The Lower (Jihlava) Gatehouse and the Upper (Rynárec) Gatehouse were built in the 16th century as parts of the fortification system. The Lower Gatehouse is a 36 metres (118 ft)-high five-storeyed construction that today houses the Museum of Records and Curiosities.[20]

Church of Saint Bartholomew

The Church of Saint Bartholomew is one of the main landmarks of the town. It was built in Gothic style in the late 13th or the early 14th century. Since 1589, the church exterior shell has been adorned with sgraffiti. The interior of the church is mostly Baroque. On the main altar there are statues of saints Bartholomew, Adalbert, Procopius, Vitus and Wenceslaus. The Way of the Cross paintings in the church were designed by František Bílek and painted by Viktor Foerster.[20] A tower with a viewing gallery at a height of 30 metres (98 ft) was added to the church in 1576. Today it is open to the public as a lookout tower.[24]

The Church of Saint Vitus is documented in 1325 and is the oldest sacral building in Pelhřimov. The former parish church was originally built in the Gothic style, which is still evident in the presbytery. After many reconstructions, it contains Gothic, Renaissance and mainly Baroque elements. Nowadays the church is used as an exhibition and concert hall.[20]

The Chapel of the Holy Cross was originally built in 1671 as a small replica of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. It was extended to a church in 1750 and a tower was added. In 1865, the town council decided to demolish the structure and build a new church. The new chapel was built in the neo-Gothic style in 1883–1886.[20]
