Stod (German: Staab) is situated at an altitude of 357 m on the river Radbuza in West Bohemia.
In 1253, the village was given to the monastery of Chotěšov (Chotieschau). During the Thirty Years War (18161648)
it was almost completely deserted. In 1850 it obtained he status of a town.
The
parish church of St. Magdalene [background, centre] was built in 18411843
in place of the original church of 1567.
Stod became an independent parish in 1690. Before that date the church had been a filial church of the monastery of Chotěšov.
