Tachov occupies the valley of the Mže River in western Bohemia, close to Czechia’s border with Germany. This former royal town developed on the old route linking Bohemia with Bavaria, and its compact centre still retains long stretches of medieval fortifications. Tachov Castle, reshaped in the Neoclassical style, stands beside the historic core, while the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary anchors the town square. Forested country toward the Český les frames the area, giving the town a distinctly borderland setting rather than the urban scale of Plzeň.
