Most has served as a brown-coal mining centre in north-west Bohemia since the 19th century. The city lies below the Krušné hory (Ore Mountains), in the Most Basin, where open-cast mining transformed both the terrain and the urban map. Its defining modern story is the 1975 relocation of the Gothic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary: the entire building was moved 841 metres while the old town was cleared for mining. Lake Most, formed in a reclaimed former mine, now brings a public waterside dimension to this industrial landscape.
