The village is first mentioned in 1340, at which time it was held by Přešek of Lichnov. The fortified settlement built in the 14th century as an administrative centre fell to ruin the 17th century. In the past there were several factories and plants in the village, including a brickworks, a hosiery mill, a furniture plant, a sawmill, a mill and a beer / bottling plant.
