Třešť

Třešť is a municipality with town privileges in Bohemia, situated on the Křižanov Highlands with a protected urban core and several architectural landmarks. The streetscape features the Church of Saint Martin and distinctive buildings spanning different periods.

The first documented mention of this settlement dates to 1349 as a parish village along trade routes. It gradually developed over centuries and received formal town status in 1901.

The name Třešť comes from the Czech word for cherry, reflecting the region's fruit-growing heritage. This connection to the land still appears in local celebrations and how residents shape their town.

The town offers good transport connections and has basic services including shops, medical care, and public spaces. The manageable size makes it easy to explore the center on foot.

A textile company here has manufactured uniforms since 1931, including garments for the Papal Swiss Guard in Vatican City. This surprising link connects this quiet town to one of the world's most recognized institutions.
