History
The first mention dates back to 1523. Since 1561 it became a royal mining city. Since the 19th century, the glass industry has been developing, whose products have been exported around the world. Glass traditions have been preserved even today: refractory glass and car mirrors are produced in Tin. The status of the city was received on January 23, 2007.
