The first written mention of the town of Louny comes from 1115 when it belonged to the monastery in Kladruby. This Romanesque settlement was situated at the place of the present St.Peter´ Church by the ford across the Ohře River. As a royal town, Louny was located at the tongue of land above the river, approximately 1km of the eastern direction from the original settlement sometimes in the 1260´s during the reign of Přemysl Otakar II. Foundation of the city, motivated by the location on the important country road from Prague to Germany, was realised with a significant participation of Saxon colonisers. A Dominican monastery, which was destroyed in the Hussite Wars, was founded together with the town. Louny area is the place of birth of several famous personalities: the poet Jaroslav Vrchlický (1853-1912 in Domažlice); Kamil Hilbert (1869-1933 in Prague), an architect who completed the building of St.Vitus´ Cathedral in Prague; Václav Hlavatý (1894-1969 in Bloomington, U.S.A), a world-known mathematician; the writer Karel Konrád (1899-1971 in Prague) were born in Louny. The neighbouring borough of Cítoliby is the architect Josef Mocker´s (1835-1899 in Prague) place of birth, the poet Konstantin Biebl (1898-1951 in Prague) was born in a close village of Slavětín
