History
The town was founded together with the founding of the already mentioned Benedictine monastery in 1101. In the 14th century, it gained the privilege of a royal town. During its greatest expansion, Třebíč was the most important center of Moravia after Olomouc and Brno. However, the development was disrupted by the wars during the 15th century between George of Poděbrady and Matyáš Korvín. During this period, the city was destroyed and burned by Hungarian troops. The monastery was subsequently owned by various nobles and rebuilt into a chateau. Even in the following centuries, however, Třebíč did not flourish in any particular way. It first suffered during the Thirty Years' War and then in the early 19th century a large part of the city was destroyed by a number of fires. Subsequent development was helped by the flourishing of leather processing (tanners), the furniture industry and the engineering industry. The life of the locals was again affected by World War II, which had the most severe impact on the Jewish community in Třebíč. During the 1970s and 1980s, the city grew thanks to the construction of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant.
Monuments
Despite the historical adversity of fate, you can still see many historical monuments in Třebíč. Among the most valuable is the Basilica of St. Prokop registered on the UNESCO list. It was built as part of a Benedictine monastery and to this day is one of the oldest medieval buildings in Europe. The basilica is part of the Třebíč castle complex. Other historical monuments can be found in the maze of narrow streets of the Jewish quarter, which is also listed on the prestigious UNESCO list. You will find many preserved buildings here, including the Front and Back Synagogues, the Jewish Town Hall or the Seligmann Bauer House.
