History & geography

History

The first written mention of Divišov is in a deed of King Ottokar I of Bohemia from 1218, which included the name Diviš of Divišov. He founded here a fortress around which the settlement began to form. Before 1242, Zdislav, the first-born son of Diviš of Divišov, founded Český Šternberk Castle in the neighbourhood of today's Divišov municipal territory, and the Divišov family became known as the Sternberg (Šternberk) family. In 1545, Divišov became a town. It received coat of arms with a gold star which reminded the Lords of Sternberg. In 1742, after a large fire, almost the whole of Divišov burned down.
