Hořovice was founded between 1303 and 1322, however archaeological excavations proves existence of an early settlement already in the 10th century.

Due to frequent fires in the town (in 1540, 1590, 1624, 1639, 1690 and 1694) and reconstructions, almost all documents of Gothic and Renaissance architecture were destroyed.

Thanks to the rich deposits in the area, iron ore has been processed here since the 14th century.

Stoves, grilles, railings, reliefs and busts were cast in the local foundries.
