History

The first written mention of Machov is from 1354. It was probably founded during the colonisation of this region in the 13th century. In 1465, it is first referred to as a market town. In 1545, it became a part of the large Náchod estate. The most significant owner of Machov was Ottavio Piccolomini, during whose cruel rule began the discontent of the population leading to a peasant uprising in 1775.
