history

Býchory was first mentioned in 1352. In the 14th century a fortress was established which was the seat of the Býchorský family from Raškovice. In 1373 the place was called Bichors . In 1523 Jan Býchorský von Raškovice sold the estate to King Ludwig II , who united it with the Kolín Chamberlain. During the Thirty Years War the village became deserted; in the berní rula of 1654 only five farmers are listed, the other properties were desolate. In 1829 the textile manufacturer Jacob Veith acquired Býchory with the Kolín rule. Around 1835 he had a castle built in place of the fortress.

In 1843 the rustic village Beychor or Bychor in the Kauřim district consisted of 54 houses in which 419 people, including 15 Protestant and one Jewish family, lived. There was a branch church of St. Bartholomäus, a stately forester's house and an inn. The village was parish after Owčar ; the place of office was Kaisersdorf . Until the middle of the 19th century, Beychor remained subject to Kolín.

After the abolition of patrimonial Býchory formed from 1849 a district of the municipality Ovčáry in the judicial district of Kolin . In 1857 there were 452 people in Býchory. In 1862 Franz Horsky acquired the Kolín rule. The Eleonorenhof was founded by Horsky in 1864 as an agricultural model estate and is named after his mother. From 1868 the village belonged to the Kolin District . On July 6, 1875, the village of Býchory was established. Horsky's grandson Adolf Richter had the 10.6 km long, narrow-gauge Kolín beet railway built in 1894 , which ran from the sugar factory to Franzenshof and via Býchory to Eleonorenhof. In 1896 the road from Kolín to Býchory was built. In 1922 the Kolín sugar factory ceased operations. In 1966 the beet railway was shut down and the line was dismantled. Between 1964 and 1990 Němčice was incorporated.
