The town is situated in the Šumavské Podhurí (Šumava Foothills). It used to be a settlement on the trade route called Zlatá Stezka (Golden Path), which was used for the transportation of salt to Bohemia. It probably lay in the place of the present town Staré Prachatice (Old Prachatice). The new settlement was founded in the 14th century around the square, together with the church, which is situated in the corner of the square. It is first mentioned in 1323 as a town with the license to crenellate.
The centre of the historical part is the square with the Baroque fountain. The dominant feature is the new town hall.
