Nov\u00fd Bor (formerly Bor u \u010cesk\u00e9 L\u00edpy, German: Haida) is a town in the northern part of the \u010cesk\u00e1 L\u00edpa District, on the border between the Lu\u017eick\u00e9 hory Protected Landscape Area and the \u010cesk\u00e9 st\u0159edoho\u0159\u00ed Protected Landscape Area. It is known primarily for its glassmaking industry. The settlement of Bor was founded in 1692 through the subdivision of a derelict farmstead belonging to Ra\u0161kovsk\u00fd, a farmer from Arnultovice. In 1710, the Kinsky family took over the estate. In 1757, at the request of Count Kinsky, Empress Maria Theresa granted town status to this settlement, which at the time consisted of 21 houses. The glassmaking industry began to concentrate in the town. The first glass merchants\u2019 guild was established, which operated until 1835 and helped the town gain worldwide renown for its glassmaking. The town is also known for the Rumburk Uprising in May 1918, which ended in defeat just outside the town, followed by the execution of seven participants behind the fence of the Forest Cemetery. In the postwar period from 1945 to 1989, the city experienced a significant expulsion of the local German population and an influx of Czech settlers from the interior. <\/p>\n
Glass Museum \u2013 Located on N\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed M\u00edru, this Empire-style building dates from 1804. The museum was founded here in 1893 by the Glassworkers\u2019 Union. It features a permanent exhibition of glass. <\/p>\n
Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary \u2013 This church is the center of Catholic church life in the town of Nov\u00fd Bor in the \u010ceskolipsko region. It stands at the intersection of M\u00edru Square and Sloupsk\u00e1 Street, where the parish office is located. It is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. Construction of the church in the town originally named Haida began in 1786 under the supervision of the D\u011b\u010d\u00edn-based architect Kosch. The church was consecrated on August 15, 1792, and granted the status of a deanery. The parish thus became a deanery. <\/p>\n
Forest Cemetery \u2013 Founded in 1909, it has been landscaped into a park-like setting with numerous rhododendrons along the road toward Radvanec. It includes a monument to the participants of the Rumburk Uprising. <\/p>\n
