Česká Bělá (in Czech pronounced as /ˈtʃɛskaː ˈbjɛlaː/) is a market town in Havlíčkův Brod District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,100 inhabitants.
The village of Cibotín is an administrative part of Česká Bělá.
Česká Bělá is located about 8km (05miles) northeast of Havlíčkův Brod and 27km (17miles) north of Jihlava. It lies in the Upper Sázava Hills. The highest point is at 569m (1,867feet) above sea level. The Bělá brook flows through the market town and supplies two fishponds inside the built-up area.
The first written mention of Česká Bělá is from 1257. It was originally a Czech settlement, but after the silver mining developed in the area in the second half of the 13th century, German miners came to Česká Bělá and settled here. In 1278, the village was promoted to a town. After the silver reserves were exhausted, the German settlers left. In the 16th century, Česká Bělá was owned by the Pernštejn family. From 1599 to 1731, it was the property of the town of Německý Brod.[2]
The I/34 road (the section from Havlíčkův Brod to Svitavy) passes through the municipality.
The main landmark of Česká Bělá is the Church of Saint Bartholomew. Originally a late Gothic church from the 14th century, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1700 and 1734.[2] [3]
