Hora Svaté Kateřiny (German: Sankt Katharinaberg) is a town in Most District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic.

In 1516 his sister Anna, the wife of military leader and mining entrepreneur Sebastian von Weitmühl, inherited the property.

Silver was struck in the 16th century, leading to a significant boom of the community which in 1528 was elevated to the status of a royal mining town.

[3] Upon changing hands in 1605, the smelting works were closed and the copper ore was brought to Grünthal near Olbernhay in Saxony for processing.

The evangelical church, which was begun in 1607 and consecrated in 1611, passed in the course of Counter-Reformation, upon compulsory conversion of the populace to Catholicism in 1627, to the patronage of the Jesuits of Dux in 1632.

[3] During the Thirty Years' War, the town suffered from troops passing through or taking quarters there, who also carried away food and property, from famine and epidemies, and from robber gangs.

In the early 18th century, knitting supplemented the linen industry, and inhabitants of St. Katharinaberg also supplied the cloth manufacturers in Oberleutensdorf.

During the Seven Years' War, the town was raided 14 times by Prussian troops, with financial damages amounting to 21,736 florins.

In the 19th century, wood working was taken up on an industrial scale and prospered, so that in 1874 a vocational school for this sector was established in St. Katharinaberg, but moved to Oberleutensdorf five years later.

After World War II, the Germans were expelled, causing the municipality to be depopulated and to lose its town privileges.

Plans to expand the nearby lignite surface mine threatened the continuity of road communications in the area, which led the mayor, Lukáš Pakosta, in 2015 to publicly consider joining the town to Germany.
