The Town of Hejnice

The history of Hejnice is tightly interwoven with the history of the pilgrim church. It's existence, according to legend, goes back to the year 1211. The place was known for the miraculous healing effects of water from the nearby Libverda springs. In 1692 count F. Gallas founded a Franciscan monastery next to the church. In the 16th century several important steel mines were opened in the neiboring country and in the 19th century several textile manufacturies appeared in the town and surrounding villages.

Nowdays the Hejnice town is a part of the Nisa Euroregion and is seeing a renewal of its importance as a place of pilgrimage.
