Nepomyšl (de|Pomeisl) is a market town in Louny District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 400 inhabitants.
The villages of Chmelištná, Dětaň, Dvérce and Nová Ves are administrative parts of Nepomyšl.
Nepomyšl is located about southwest of Louny and 31km (19miles) east of Karlovy Vary. It lies in the Doupov Mountains. The highest point is the Korunka hill at 575m (1,886feet) above sea level. The stream Dolánecký potok flows through the market town.
The first written mention of Nepomyšl is from 1361. Until 1409, it was owned by the Lords of Janovice. In the following centuries, the owners often changed. It is unknown when Nepomyšl was promoted to a market town, but not later than in 1717.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Nepomyšl is the Church of Saint Nicholas. It was originally a Gothic church from the 14th century, rebuilt in the Baroque style in the middle of the 18th century.[2] [3]
A significant monument is the Nepomyšl Castle. It was originally a Gothic fortress, also dating from the 14th century. At the end of the 17th century, it was rebuilt into the Renaissance castle, but the castle retained some relics from the original fortress. The castle has a circular shape and there is a pentagonal courtyard in the middle of the castle.[2] [4]
