The Kutná Hora town has its origin in 13th century and is linked to the development of monetary economy, Silver coins have been discovered in the period 985–995 AD in the settlement of Malín, which is a part of Kutná Hora. In 1419 Kutná Hora was second the most important in Bohemia (next to Prague), having become the favourite residence of several of the Bohemian kings.
The postcard "Church of All Saints" issued by Karel Šolec shows the oldest church in Kutná Hora. It is mentioned as early as 1292. Before the town was founded, the oldest mining settlement of Stará Kutna - Cuthna Antiqua - stood around it. Today, there is a town cemetery near the church, where burials took place as early as the 16th century.
