History
The first written mention of Chyše is from 1169, when a fortress was documented here. For 200 years, it was owned by the Lords of Odolenovice. According to the census of 1921, 93% of the population were Germans, 6% Czechoslovaks and 1% foreigners. The vast majority of the inhabitants were Roman Catholics, complemented by 20 Jews, six Protestants and three people without religion. From 1938 to 1945, Chyše was occupied by Nazi Germany and administered as part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland. After World War II, the town was returned to Czechoslovakia and the local German-speaking population was expelled.
