History
The first written mention of Česká Ves is from 1416. A hamlet named Waltherowici, which was a predecessor of the current village, was documented in 1284. The 17th century was tragic for Česká Ves. The village was hit by the plague epidemic in 1627, looted during the Thirty Years' War, and was at the centre of the infamous Northern Moravia witch trials, during which 16 women were burned. The municipality was severely hit by the 1997 Central European flood.
