Chà Âibská (; ) is a town in DÃÂÃÂÃÂn District in the ÃÂstànad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,300 inhabitants. Chà Âibská lies in a hilly landscape, on the border of the Lusatian Mountains and Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
Chà Âibská consists of four municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):
Chà Âibská is located about northeast of DÃÂÃÂÃÂn and northeast of ÃÂstànad Labem. Most of the municipal territory lies in the Lusatian Mountains and in the eponymous protected landscape area. The western part of the territory extends into the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and a small part of Chà Âibská also lies in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park. The highest point is the Spravedlnost hill at above sea level. The Chà Âibská Kamenice River flows through the town.
The first written mention of Chà Âibská is from 1352. It was part of the Kamenice estate, owned by the Wartenberg family until 1614, when it was bought by the Kinsky family. Town rights were granted in 1570.
Along with other parts of the former Austrian Empire, Chà Âibská became part of Czechoslovakia in 1919. From 1938 to 1945, after the Munich Agreement, Chà Âibská was annexed by Nazi Germany and administered as part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland. The expulsion of Germans after World War II in 1945âÂÂ1946 reduced the population.
In 2006, the town status was returned to Chà Âibská.
The oldest running glass production in Europe is located in HornàChà Âibská. It was founded shortly after 1500 by the German-Bohemian glass-maker family Friedrich.
The train station Chà Âibská on the railway line DÃÂÃÂÃÂnâÂÂRumburk, which serves the town, is located east of the town in the territory in neighbouring Rybnià ¡tÃÂ.
The main landmark of Chà Âibská is the Church of Saint George. The original Gothic church was rebuilt in the Renaissance style in 1596. Later it was modified in the Gothic style again, and two Baroque chapels were added.
