One of the very few Czech cards I have not showing Prague . I don't know who to thank for this as there is no name at the back ... I had a short termed Czech penfriend and I know it is from her ( she was living there) but no chance that I remember her name ...:S ( is it normal or should I get a middle age crisis NOW?)
Jindřichův Hradec ( German: Neuhaus) is a town in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has approximately 22,700 inhabitants.
The first written mention of the town is in 1220. Before that, it was probably a Slavic settlement. At the end of the 12th century more people arrived. At the beginning of the 13th century a Gothic castle was built (it was gradually rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau in the 16th century). In the census following the Thirty Years' War, Jindřichův Hradec was the second largest city in the Kingdom of Bohemia. Between 1831-1935 it was the first city in the area to get electricity for lighting, in 1888 the water mill was converted to electricity.
