History
The first written mention of Litultovice is from 1289. It was a part of the Moravian enclaves in Silesia owned by the bishops of Olomouc, who gave it to various nobles as a fief. A small fortress in the village was first mentioned in 1446. The most significant holders of the village were the Běrka of Násilé family (1451–1516), the Stoš of Kounice family (1516–1567) and the Bítovský of Bítov family (1580–1614). In 1582, Litultovice was destroyed by a fire and only the fortress survived. The fortress was replaced by a new castle in 1609. In 1792, Litultovice was bought from the Olomouc bishops by the Putz of Rolsberg family. In 1887, Litultovice was promoted to a market town. The hamlet of Choltice (today an integral part of Litultovice) was founded in 1846 and annexed to Litultovice in 1949.
