Přísečnice (German: Preßnitz) was a mining town in what is today the municipality of Kryštofovy Hamry in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. It was located in the Ore Mountains.
History
The first written mention of Přísečnice is from 1335, when John of Bohemia granted the inhabitants an exemption from customs.[1] It was disestablished in 1974 due to the construction of the Přísečnice Dam; though the region was already underpopulated due to the expulsion of the German population after the World War II.[2][3]
