History & geography

History

The village was founded in the 12th century. The first written mention of Oldřišov is from 1234. Until 1526, it was owned by the Hradisko Monastery in Olomouc. In 1543, Oldřišov was promoted to a market town, but it lost this title several decades later. During the Thirty Years' War in 1626 and 1639, Oldřišov was looted by Danish and Swedish armies. From 1742 to 1918, after Empress Maria Theresa had been defeated, the village belonged to Prussia. In 1920, the municipality was annexed to Czechoslovakia.
