Bečov nad Teplou is a town located in the Karlovy Vary District within the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic. It has a population of approximately nine hundred residents. The historic town center is well-preserved and legally protected as an urban monument zone. The earliest written record of Bečov Castle dates back to 1317, when it was established by the Lords of Rýzmburk. The settlement of Bečov was first documented in 1387, and it was granted town status in 1399. According to the most widely accepted theory, the original name of the settlement was Bečkov, which is believed to have originated from the personal name Bečka. Bečov nad Teplou is renowned for the Bečov Castle and Bečov Chateau complex, which is accessible to the public and features guided tours. This exposition houses the second most significant movable monument in the Czech Republic, the Reliquary of St. Maurus. The Church of Saint George, constructed in the late Baroque style, was built between 1763 and 1767, with the tower completed in 1885. A prominent landmark in the town is the late Baroque town hall, which dates back to 1760. Additionally, a botanical garden was gradually established in Bečov nad Teplou from 1918 to 1935. After the garden was taken over by the Czechoslovak state in 1945, it fell into a state of disrepair. In 2005, the local botanical organization ČSOP Berkut took the initiative to restore and maintain the botanical garden. #History #Architecture #Castles
