Hello!
Welcome to my LJ page. I am Renata from Czech Republic. I live in town Bílina near German border. Bílina (German Bilin) is a town in the Teplice District in the Ústí nad Labem Region. The historical town of Bílina lies in the valley of the river Bílina, between the tops of the Central Bohemian Massif and the range of the Ore Mountain. It is situated between two bigger cities, Teplice and Most. In the south is the mountain Bořeň, which resembles lying lion. The name of the town originates from the adjective white (bílý). The very first written mention of the settlement (then a seat of a province) dates back to 993 and comes from Chronicle of Bohemians. Before the half of 13th century Ojíř of Friedberk built a new castle. During 1420 the town of Bílina was kept by Albrecht of Koldice well-known with his anti-hussite attitude. Thus, Bílina was surrounded and conquered by a hussite Jakoubek of Vřesovice who gave back the town of Bílina to dynasty of Koldice in 1436. Since 1502 the town of Bílina was owned by House of Lobkowicz.

Very interesting.

Also, we seem to have a bit in common. Among other things, I like Clannad, The Count of Monte Cristo, Agatha Christie and several of your tv fandoms. (I might like the movies too, but strangely enough I haven't seen any of them.)
