history
The history of the place is closely linked to that of Police nad Metují , the settlement of the area by the Benedictines and the Braunau monastery . In 1294, Abbot Bavor laid down the land boundaries that still exist today. From the confluence of the stream into the Mettau, the construction of a tunnel in the direction of Police was started. In the first half of the 15th century, the Vlčinec Castle is said to have been built there on the steep abyss. During the Hussite Wars , Catholics sought refuge in the rocks of the Ostaš. In 1484 the wooden cross chapel was built on the mountain.
During the Thirty Years' War the place was visited alternately by the imperial and the Protestant in 1621, later the Swedes invaded, from whom the inhabitants again sought protection on the Ostaš. During the peasant uprisings of 1680, cuirassier regiments under Otto de Grana moved into Žďár on April 7, 1680 and stayed there for the night. Between 1711 and 1720, at the instigation of the Braunau abbot Othmar Daniel Zinke, a Romanesque church was built on the Ostaš instead of the ruined chapel. However, this was demolished in 1788 together with the parish church on the Politzer cemetery on the order of Emperor Joseph II and the stones were used to build houses.
In 1875 the railway from Chotzen to Braunau was inaugurated , but it was not until 1922 that the railway kept on fire. The new train station with a waiting hall was called "Maršov" in the first few years.
