Telč (tysk: Teltsch) er en by i Tsjekkia. Gamlebyen ble i 1992 oppført på UNESCOs verdensarvliste. Byen ligger ved foten av de Böhmisk-Mähriske høylandene omgitt av sjøer og ved utløpet av elven Telčský potok hvor denne renner ut i Taya. Bygningene i Telc som ligger på en høyde i landskapet, var opprinnelig oppført i tre.[2] Etter en brann sent på 1300-tallet, ble byen gjenoppført i steinmateriale og ytterligere vernet mot brann ved at den ble omgitt av kunstige sjøer. Stedets gotiske slott ble gjenreist i høygotisk stil sent på 1400-tallet. Unesco: Historic Centre of Telč. The houses in Telc, which stands on a hilltop, were originally built of wood. After a fire in the late 14th century, the town was rebuilt in stone, surrounded by walls and further strengthened by a network of artificial ponds. The town's Gothic castle was reconstructed in High Gothic style in the late 15th century.
Outstanding Universal Value.
The town of Telč is located near the southwestern border between Moravia and Bohemia, in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It is situated in a region which was thickly forested until the 13th century. The property consists of the historic town centre, with the castle situated in the middle, and of two bodies of water, originally having a defensive function.
The origins of the settlement are unclear: there was an early medieval settlement at Staré Město to the south-east of the present town, but there is no mention of Telč in documentary records before 1333-1335, when reference is made to the existence there of an important castle (and presumably also a church and settlement). The town of Telč, whose area covers 36 ha, was probably founded in the mid 14th century. The town itself is of special importance since it was founded on purpose to gain political and economic control over an area where there were deep forests in the 13th and 14th centuries.
