History edit
The first written mention of Černovice is from 1322. From 1322 to 1597, it was a property of the Rosenberg family. Černovice was burned down during the Hussite Wars and damaged several times by fires between 1611 and 1857, so almost no historical buildings have survived to this day. Černovice was a market town, which was promoted to a town in the mid-19th century.[2]
