On the cottage, in the nature, Part II: Telč

The records of Telč, a small town just a well-placed Petr Cech punt from the Austrian border, date to the 14th century. It has survived Hussite sympathizers tossing people out windows, numerous fires, occupation by the Swedish army, lightning striking the Holy Ghost church, occupation by the French army, and two plagues.

There's also been its share of growth -- but not in the town center. That area, thanks to the oversight of Zacharias in the 16th century, became a bustling marketplace. Essentially an elongated triangle with colorful building fronts of various styles, the town center hasn't changed much in roughly 500 years, a fact not unnoticed by UNESCO, which placed the area on its World Heritage list in 1992.
