"The oldest mention of Mikulášovice can be found in records dating
from 1346. The town is dominated by St Nicholas's Church. Completed in
1555, the structure was expanded several times and eventually rebuilt.
Inside you can find a splendidly decorated carved altar and a remarkable
organ dating from 1901. With more than 2000 pipes, the organ is one of
the largest musical instruments of its kind to be found in Bohemia. At
the end of the 1700s, workshops began to be founded here, which later gave
rise to flourishing industries, in particular the cutlery industry and
the production of bands and ribbons. In 1796 Ignác Rösler founded a factory
manufacturing steel products, the oldest such facility in Mikulášovice.
Known all over Europe, the production of cutlery has survived here to this
day. The summit of Tanečnice (597 metres above sea level) is crowned with
the northernmost lookout tower in Bohemia. This eight-sided stone struckture,
reaching to a height of 26 metres, offers a terrific panoramic view of
the landscape around."
Coat of Arms: as the first two stripes of the flag; the sword's haft is in center
of the figure 1916, when Emperor Franz Josef I granted Mikulášovice town
status.
