history
Sonnenberg emerged as a mining settlement at the beginning of the 16th century, after which miners discovered iron ore deposits in the course of exploring the Upper Ore Mountains . The first written evidence of the place comes from 1547. In 1565 Sonnenberg received city rights . In 1584 Waldemar von Lobkowitz granted the city mountain privileges , which Emperor Rudolf II confirmed in 1597 through his general mountain freedom. Sonnenberg also received such a confirmation from Emperor Matthias , along with the promise of ten years of forest interest, free wood and some grazing areas.
During the Thirty Years' War , the Swedes burned the city down completely on March 27, 1640, only three Chaluppen survived the conflagration.
The ore extraction on the plateau above the valley of the Brunnersdorfer Bach had sunk so much in the 19th century that the last mine was shut down in 1862. The inhabitants lived from handicrafts, besides a metal beating and sawmills, basket making was the main trade in the city. From the middle of the 19th century, Sonnenberg formed a community in the judicial district of Sebastiansberg or Komotau .
In 1872, Sonnenberg was connected to the Komotau – Weipert railway line. Because of the difficult route in the mountains, the railway line was laid south of the Neudorfer ( Novoveský vrch ) and the Muckenberg ( Komáří vrch ) so that the station is over two kilometers northwest of the city.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, there has been an increased emigration from the remote city. In 1917 there was another attempt to revive the Sonnenberg mining industry , but the mine was not profitable. After the First World War , Sonnenberg was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia .
Due to the Munich Agreement Sonnenberg belonged from 1938 to 1945 for the district of Chomutov , Region of Usti nad Labem , in the Reich District of Sudetenland the German Reich . In 1939 the city had 1,255 inhabitants. The expulsion of the almost exclusively German population after the Second World War led to the desolation of the city, which initially bore the name Suniperk . You lost the city charter. Since January 23, 2007 Výsluní is a town again.
Demographics
Until 1945 Sonnenberg was predominantly populated by German Bohemia , which were expelled.

St. Wenceslas Church
Today's St. Wenceslas Church is the third church building in the town. After the first church burned down in 1640, a new building made of stone and clay was built in 1658–1658. Until the establishment of its own parish in 1726, Sonnenberg was parish in Sankt Sebastiansberg .
In 1843 the second church burned down again due to a lightning strike.
This was followed by a new building in the neo-Romanesque style between 1851 and 1857 . The new church building, dedicated to St. Wenceslas , 35 m long and 20 m wide with a square presbytery 10 m on each side, was equipped with five altars. Because of the size of the building, the effect of which was reinforced from a distance by its location on the mountain ridge directly on the edge of the steep southern slope in the North Bohemian Basin, the vernacular said that a cathedral would be built in Sonnenberg for the entire Ore Mountains . This term soon became common.
The last wedding and baptism in the "Ore Mountains Cathedral" took place in 1959. After that the church was closed and soon became the place of activity for art abusers and vandals. Parts of the equipment were brought to Přísečnice , what remained in the church was destroyed. The organ was thrown into the nave . In 1981 a fire was started in the church tower, which destroyed the entire tower and the church roof. It was only a matter of time when the ruins would be demolished as a result of further wanton destruction, as the communist rulers had no interest in preserving church buildings.
After the change in the political situation, a fund for the preservation of St. Wenceslas Church in Výsluní was established in 1997 and donations were collected. In 1998 the church was declared a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. The first part of the maintenance measures was carried out in 1999, it included work to restore the statics of the vaults of the main nave. The second phase of the renovation work is the reconstruction of the roof structure and the tower, which began in 2000. The main sponsor was the State Forestry Organization of the Czech Republic in Hradec Králové , which provided around 250 m³ of round wood. The tower was covered with copper sheet. In the future, the church will host a permanent exhibition on rafting , the only one of its kind in the Czech Republic. The third construction phase began in 2002 with the renewal of the roof structure and the roofs of the main nave including the side aisles. The renovation of the facade, including the restoration of the portal's sandstone sculptures, took place in 2003 and the floor was restored. In 2004 work on the roof of the main nave was continued.
