MostMost (German: Brx) is a city in the northwest of the Czech Republic, in st nad Labem Region. It is approximately 48 miles (77 km) northwest of Prague along the Blina River and southwest of st nad Labem. Population: 68,300 (2004). The Latin Cosmas Chronicle mentions a Slavonic settlement below the Hněvn Castle called Gnevin Pons (Czech: Hněvnsk most) in 1040. The royal town was later owned by the Premyslides and from the 13th century became predominantly German. Both Czech and German names mean "bridge". It had very many medieval churches. Most is the heart of the northern Bohemian lignite-mining and also produces chemicals, steel, and ceramics. In the 1970s, the town was completely relocated due to the expansion of the coal fields. The government and the people successfully moved the medieval Gothic Church of St. Mary to the new town. Reference - Encyclopaedia Britannica
