history

The Čachnov settlement was founded at the beginning of the 18th century by an iron hammer belonging to the Richenburg estate . Count Philipp Kinský had a baroque hunting lodge with a zoo built in Čachnov in 1770, which soon lost its importance with the completion of the Karlštejn Palace . In 1789 there were 25 houses in Čachnov; the village was the seat of a Rychtář , who was also responsible for the village of Ruda. The new owner of the estate, Karl Alexander von Thurn und Taxis , had the zoo closed in 1827 and the hunting lodge converted into a forester's lodge. Čachnov became the seat of one of the five manorial forest districts that, according to the new forest organization of 1830, managed by far the largest forest stretch of the manor - the Čachnower or Karlstein Forest (6656 yoke, 1167 square fathoms).

In 1835, the in consisted Chrudim District Dominikaldorf located Čachnow of 20 houses, where 126 people lived. In the place there was a stately forester's house and the buildings of the abandoned Meierhof with a tree nursery and a shooting house. The parish was Wüst Kamenitz . In 1843 the village had 119 inhabitants. Until the middle of the 19th century, Čachnow remained subject to the rule of Richenburg .

After the abolition of patrimonial Čachnov formed from 1849 with the district Ruda a municipality in the judicial district of Hlinsko . From 1868 the municipality belonged to the political district of Chrudim . In 1869 Čachnov had 114 inhabitants and consisted of 18 houses. In 1897 the local railway Zwittau – Polička was extended to Skutsch ; At the beginning of the 20th century, the Čachnov railway station was built. In 1900 there were 142 people living in Čachnov, in 1910 there were 165. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918 a school was built in Čachnov. At that time, the Josias Eissler & Sons company set up a large sawmill in Čachnov. In 1930 Čachnov had 339 inhabitants. In 1949 the community was assigned to Okres Polička, and since 1961 it has belonged again to Okres Chrudim. On January 1, 1976, it was incorporated into Krouna. On June 24, 1995 three fully loaded freight wagons rolled from the Čachnov train station onto the steeply sloping railway line in the direction of Krouna, where they collided with an oncoming passenger train at the Krouna stop; 19 people died in the Krouna train accident.
