Čestín: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Čestín was originally called Čestín Kostel. In 1579, Emperor Rudolf II granted the place town status as well as the right to hold a weekly market and three annual fairs. Historically, Čestín was inhabited mainly by farmers and craftsmen; the production of music automata and barrel organs is recorded as the most significant local craft.
