History
The town was first mentioned in records in 1439, although it was also mentioned earlier in 1242 as a gift written in a deed. The probable founder was the monastery at Vilemov. In medieval times, the town was a trading and industrial centre. Its industries included ironworks, lumber, and charcoal.In 1945, this town was under Nazi occupation. As several Nazi troops were passing through the town from Chrudim back to Nazi Germany, they massacred 14 people while finding resistance partisans.Administrative parts
