The town of Gornji Tserekev can not boast a large number of residents: it is home to a little less than two thousand people. However, this city is quite interesting from the tourist point of view and takes each year hundreds of wanting to be in the present Czech Middle Ages.

For the first time the city was mentioned in documents that date back to the year 1361, but local historians believe that Gornji Tsekerev was founded long before that time. They say that its source was someone Litsek, so the city was originally named Litskovitse. With this Litsekom linked to one urban legend. It is said that he was a man of incredible strength and agility that bare hands catch wild animals. One day he caught a wild boar, whose head decided to place on the emblem of the city. However, much later, a dispute arose: some claimed that the head resembles the head of a bear. Allow such a discussion could only in 1998, when it was officially decided that it's still a boar's head.

The current name of the town can be translated as "Rock Church". Urban rights Gornji Tserekev received in the XIV century, but then it started to expand.
