history
The place was first mentioned in 1368, when Bishop Albrecht von Sternberg placed Boček I of Podebrady at the Olomouc country table for half of the Bystřice market. The name of the place is probably derived from the old Czech word bystrěc ( torrent ). In 1418 Bistritz was owned by Milota von Tworkau , who sold it that year together with Obřany Castle to his brother Andreas / Ondřej von Tworkau. After his death around 1420 it probably came to Milota, the son of the same name of Milota von Tworkau auf Prerau , who before 1447 sold the town of Bistritz with the festivals of the same name and the abandoned Obřany Castle to the Wok von Sovinec ( Vok ze Sovince ) on Helfenstein . In 1550 about 500 people lived in Bystřice. The owners of the estate changed often; to them belonged in the second half of the 16th century the Prusinovský von Víckov, and at the beginning of the Thirty Years War Václav Bítovský von Bítov, whose goods were confiscated after the Battle of White Mountain in 1621. The next owner was Zdeněk Vojtěch Popel von Lobkowicz . In 1650, Johann von Rottal acquired the rule and united it with Holešov to form one great rule. In 1789 the property passed from Count Rottal to Count della Rovere di Monte l´Abbate and in 1804 Johann Nepomuk Count von Wengerský inherited the rule. He was followed in 1827 by the Counts Laudon.
After patrimonial was replaced, Bistritz became an independent market town in 1848. In 1860 Michael Thonet founded a furniture factory in Bystřice. In 1904, Max Hrdliczka founded Impregna AG (after 1990 part of JmdZ-Holzwerke), a threshold impregnation plant that also supplied Thonet's furniture wood. During the Second World War , this plant was the source of finance for the Jan Zizka partisan brigade, led by plant manager Karel Bubenicek and Artur Preuss, the grandson of Max Hrdliczka. Bystřice pod Hostýnem has been a town since 1864. In 1890, 3600 people lived in Bistritz. The lords of the castle were the Counts Laudon until 1935 and then the Ministry of Defense of Czechoslovakia. The castle has been owned by the city since 1990.
