Few towns in the South Bohemian Region have a history as closely tied to the sugar cube as Dačice. In 1843, Jakub Kryštof Rad, director of the local sugar refinery, produced the first sugar cubes here; a monument beside the church recalls the invention. The Moravian Thaya flows through the town, whose centre includes a Renaissance château later remodelled in Baroque style. Dačice also sits in a borderland shaped by the meeting of Bohemian, Moravian and Austrian influences.
