Before the Battle of White Mountain Jeníkov belongs a lord Trcka of Lipa. However, the town suffered from consequences of 30-years´ War, when fifteen villages in the environs were completely burnt out by soldier troops, so, such war trouble brought many difficulties to Bohemia countryside. Nevertheless, Martin Maxmillian Goltz, Emperor´s field Inspector-General of Ordonance, obtained Jeníkov dominion as a reward for his faithful services. So, this new owner settled there persistently and put foundations to many important buildings – such as: Loreta, stronghold, town hall or deanery, and this small town got again its economical and cultural swing. The name Goltz (CZ: Golc) from that time became part of the name of this municipality.
At present, Golcuv Jeníkov could be proud on many interesting monuments. It is, first of all, Old Post Office (CZ: Stará Pošta) Building (even W. A. Mozart, famous musical composer, slept there on straw mattress in 1789, when he travelled from Vienna).
You can find this Old Post Office in centre of Golcuv Jenikov. The building now serves as a small refreshments now.
