history
Archaeological finds show that the plateau to the left of the Vltava has been inhabited since the Neolithic . Since the 9th century Žalov has probably belonged to the Levý Hradec Castle and was probably its economic center. In the 12th century, the Přemyslids gave up the castle and the associated town.
The first written mention of Žalov was in 1088 in a deed of donation from King Vratislav I for the collegiate chapter Vyšehrad . King Ottokar I transferred the goods of the abandoned Levý Hradec Castle to the Prague Benedictine Monastery of St. George in 1233 . In 1421 the Prague Hussites appropriated the monastic goods. After that, the owners changed frequently. After the class revolt of 1547, the goods were confiscated. In 1553, King Ferdinand I left the monastic goods at Levý Hradec Castle with the villages of Žalov, Husinec and Řež as well as a part of the Vltava to his secretary Oswald von Schönfeld for life. Schönfeld sold the property to Ludwig Schradin in 1562. His heirs sold the goods in 1565 to David Borinie von Lhota , who had acquired the Rostok estate in the same year and connected it to it. David Borinie's grandson of the same name was sentenced to the loss of a fifth of his fortune after the Battle of White Mountain for his participation in the uprising of 1618. His goods Rostok and Lichtendorf were confiscated and sold to Charles I of Liechtenstein by the court chamber in 1625 . The villages Husinec, Řež and Žalov, on the other hand, were returned to the St. George Monastery, which connected them with his estates Kameyk and Statenitz . After the abolition of the monastery as part of the Josephine reforms , the Statenice estate with Kamýk fell to the court chamber in 1782, which sold it to the court marshal, Count Rudolf von Swéerts-Sporck , in 1790 . He sold both goods in 1797 for 120,000 guilders to the Leitmeritz citizen Franz Fügner. The following owners were Johann Kanal Ritter von Ehrenberg, from 1805 Johann Prokop Graf Hartmann von Klarstein and from 1807 Joseph Löhner , who also owned the Rostok estate with Lichtendorf . Löhner exchanged the villages Husinec, Řež and Žalow including Hradetz at Gut Rostok for the village and the farm Lichtendorf in 1821 and sold the Statenitz estate to Countess Barbara Khüenburg in the same year . In 1839 his son Ludwig Edler von Löhner inherited the Rostok estate and immediately sold it to the Prague citizen Joseph Leder.
In 1843 Žalow consisted of 39 houses with 212 inhabitants, one of which was subordinate to Tuchoměřice . There was an inn in the village. Aside from that, in Lewy Hradec / Hradetz, there was the branch church of St. Kliment, which, according to tradition , Duke Bořivoj I had built after his baptism. The parish was in Rostok, with a service every fourth Sunday in Hradetz. Until the middle of the 19th century, Žalow remained subordinate to the Rostok manor.
After the abolition of patrimonial Žalov formed from 1850 a district of the municipality Roztoky in the district and judicial district Smíchov . In 1867 Žalov broke away from Roztoky and formed its own municipality with the settlements of Hradec, Podmoráň and Moráň (Stříbrník) . In the first half of the 20th century, the village began to expand, and new residential areas were built on the plateaus on both sides of the source of the Žalovský potok. In 1927 the municipality was assigned to the Praha-venkov district and the judicial district of Praha-západ. From 1929 Žalov belonged to the judicial district of Praha-sever. In 1932 the village had 1767 inhabitants. In 1942, Žalov became part of the newly formed Praha-venkov-sever district. After the end of the Second World War, Žalov came to the judicial district of Praha-západ. Since 1949 the municipality has belonged to Okres Praha-západ. In 1950 part of Podmoráň was umgemeindet after Úholičky , the other part remained with Žalov. In 1960 Žalov was incorporated into Roztoky. In the following years Žalov and Roztoky grew together due to the development of the plateau.
