Location in the Czech RepublicWikimedia Commons: Mšeno Statistics: statnisprava.cz Website: www.mestomseno.cz Mšeno (Czech pronunciation: [ˈm̩ʃɛno]; German: Wemschen) is a small town in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,400 inhabitants.
The Slavic people settled the town area c. 5th-6th century CE. [1] Evidence suggests that in early times the place may have been called "Černá ves" ("Black Village") due to the many fires that raged there.[2] Whatever the case, the first recorded mention of Mšeno was in 1306, in a document signed by Václav III (Wenceslas III) awarding the then-village to aristocrat Hynek Berka z Dubé; he, and his son after him, ensured the growing prosperity of the area. In 1367, Karel IV (Charles IV), raised Mšeno to the rank of "town".
