Archiv města Golčův Jeníkov
Golčův Jeníkov was founded in the Middle Ages on the so-called Haberská trail. In the years 1461–1580 it was owned by the Slavatas of Chlum and Košumberk. In 1636, General Martin Maxmilián Goltz received the municipality as a gift from the Emperor. In 1673, Golčův Jeníkov was owned by Barbora Eusebia, Countess of Žďár, married for the second time to Count Karel Leopold Caretto Millesimo. The town was hit by a large fire in 1784. The existence of the Jewish community is documented from 1654. In the modern times, there was an important Jewish community and a yeshiva. A remarkable cemetery, a synagogue and a Jewish ghetto have been preserved there.
