The Old Town of Tabor in southern Bohemia is a picturesque tangle of cobbled streets surrounded by well-preserved defensive walls. You can see richly decorated Gothic and Renaissance tenement houses, the Church of the Transfiguration and the town hall with a triple gable at the market square.
The rolling stock was founded around 1420 by the Hussites. It was to be an ideal city in which the idea of equality and social justice would be implemented. He received the name to commemorate the biblical Mount Tabor, where Jesus changed in the presence of his disciples. The city was surrounded by walls and was a stronghold of a radical Hussite faction led by Jan Zizka.
Currently, Rolling Stock is one of the best-preserved old cities in southern Bohemia. Its defensive walls have preserved the remains of the medieval castle of Kotnov. Part of it is the current Bochyńska Gate and the cylindrical tower standing next to it, from which you can admire the view of the city and the surrounding area. Narrow streets lead to the market. The houses standing next to them have facades covered with sgraffito decorations and polychromes, mainly on religious themes. Their tops are decorated with columns, pilasters and blind blinds. They refer to late Gothic and Renaissance houses built in the Netherlands. The central part of the Old Town is the market square with the town hall and the fountain with the figure of Saint Roland.
