The village is located at an altitude of 462m in the middle of forests in the Lusatian Mountains on both banks of the Kamenice River. It was formed by the merger of three older villages: Doln\u00ed Falknov, Falknov and Kytlice. The territory was previously divided into two parts by the river. The northern part belonged to the \u010cesk\u00e9 Kamenice estate and the southern part to the S\u0142upsk estate. <\/p>\n
Doln\u00ed Falknov It is located on the right bank of the Kamenice River. Originally, only the manor’s forest house stood here. In 1668, a pub was built here, which later became the residence of the rector. Other houses grew up around it. <\/p>\n
Falknov It lies on the left bank of the Kamenice River, and was allegedly founded after 1471. The existence of Falknov is reliably documented only in the 16th century. As early as 1530, a glass factory was created here by glass master Pavel Sch\u00fcrer from Aschberk. Thanks to the rapid development of glassmaking, the village also flourished. There were 30 glass cutting workshops and glass painters in the village. The glass factory included considerable land on which a farm with a grain mill, a brewery and a sawmill were established. <\/p>\n
Kytlice In 1731 the glassworks was sold to new owners, the Kittels. Since they were unable to secure enough wood for the factory, Jan Josef Kittel had to stop the factory in 1750. He sold the land belonging to the factory to people for the construction of houses, and in 1758 a new village called Kittlitz (Kytlice) was established in the middle of Falknov. <\/p>\n
Ml\u00fdny Ml\u00fdny is now part of the village of Kytlice. It was previously called Hill\u016fv Ml\u00fdn after the sawmill that was built there around the middle of the 16th century. Jan Oktavi\u00e1n Kinsk\u00fd granted the land around the sawmill to his subjects and founded a new village. <\/p>\n
Church of St. Anthony of Padua <\/strong> – the foundation stone was laid on September 7, 1777, but it was consecrated only on October 10, 1782, as its construction was delayed by the war with Prussia. The church is a single-nave Baroque church by the architect Jan V\u00e1clav Kosch from D\u011b\u010d\u00edn. On the main altar is a painting of St. Anthony of Padua, painted after Correggio’s original by the Falknov native Anton\u00edn Weiss. <\/p>\n Statue of St. Anthony of Padua <\/strong> – the statue of St. Anthony of Padua standing in the meadow below the church dates from the second half of the 18th century. <\/p>\n Monument to Franti\u0161ek Xaver Zippe – a monument to the founder of mineralogy and geology in Bohemia, Franti\u0161ek Xaver Zippe, stands at the site of his birthplace in Doln\u00ed Falknov.<\/p>\n Forest Theatre – the forest theatre was established in 1931.
