Hussite Wars
At the onset of the Hussite Wars, the town was sacked and burnt by the Catholic Silesians on 27 May 1421. Men were slaughtered, women raped, 40 boys had their right feet and left hands severed and their noses cut off. Some burgesses sought refuge in the rock labyrinth on the nearby Ostaš mountain but the Silesians went even there to murder. The monastery was not renewed until after the Hussite Wars.
