Prušánky

History

The first written mention of Prušánky is from 1261, when the village was donated to the newly established Smilheim monastery. In 1497, after the monastery was abolished, Prušánky was acquired by the Lords of Kunštát. In the second half of the 16th century, a community of the Anabaptists settled in the village. Prušánky suffered greatly in 1605 (during the Bocskai uprising) and during the Thirty Years' War. More than half of the homesteads were abandoned after the war, making the village one of the least affected in the region. In 1842 and 1846, Prušánky was hit by severe fires.
