Since 1999, the foundation from exchanges in the area of culture, sport and education.Formerly the name of the town was Bruchk because Most means bridge. The town was built on coal layers, which are just on the surface. When these easy energy was discovered, the stripping of the outer edge of the city began.After 1948 when Czechoslovakia was part part of the Soviet bloc, the precious energy that was easy to win, and that in the former Soviet bloc was very much needed. The result was that the Government of the Soviet Union gave the contract to the stripping of the coal. The inhabitants of the city had somewhere else to live. And so it happened. With beautiful promises of cheap new housing, the city of Bruchk was demolished and rebuilt a few miles further. The church is moved in a whole about 400 meters. There were made, as in many Eastern cities, large numbers of apartment buildings, where all residents could find shelter. Most is now almost entirely existing of high buildings. The backward swamp area becomes gradually again covered and under control.
