Čistá is a municipality and village in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 900 inhabitants.
The name Čistá literally means 'clean', 'clear'. The name refers to the time when the village was cleansed from paying taxes after its foundation. It was a reward to the settlers for settling a new area and protecting a trade route.[2]
Čistá is located about 7km (04miles) northwest of Mladá Boleslav and 46km (29miles) northeast of Prague. It lies in the Jizera Table.
The first written mention of Čistá is in a deed of King Charles IV from 1351. In 1625, the village was acquired by Albrecht von Wallenstein, who annexed it to the Frýdlant estate.[2]
The I/38 road (the section from Mladá Boleslav to Česká Lípa) passes through the municipality.
The main landmark of Čistá is the Church of Saint Lawrence. It was built in the Neoclassical style in 1697–1700 and reconstructed in 1897.[2] [3]
