In the 19 century the town became known because of developed glove manufacturing, founded here by Jew Salamon Abeles. After the Second World War a glove factory (Rukavičkářské závody) was operating here.
In the town there is also a castle, connected with the Colloredo-Mansfelds. In the city centre and near the main road to Prague, there are Bobcat-factories.
