history
The area belonged to the territory of the Slavnikids until their destruction in the 10th century . In the 12th century it was owned by Witiko von Prčice . The Church of St. Otto was built around 1250.
The Deštná market was first mentioned in a document from Ulrich II von Neuhaus from 1294. In 1364 the brothers Peter II , Ulrich I , Jobst I and Johann I von Rosenberg bought the place and gave it a coat of arms. Deštná became part of the Choustník domain , to which it belonged until the 16th century. During the rule of the Rosenbergs the place grew and the Church of St. Otto received its Gothic presbytery . In 1418 Ulrich II von Rosenberg granted the market town rights and the first town books have been kept since then. The city was sacked during the Hussite Wars.
In 1531 the Deštná goods were given to the von Neuhaus as pledge . Peter Wok von Rosenberg redeemed the pledge in 1581 and brought the town back to his rule Choustník. In 1596 the indebted Peter Wok Deštná had to sell together with Březina and Višňová . The new owner was Wilhelm Ruth von Dírná , who established the Nové Lhoty Červené estate in 1597 . In 1599 a spring was discovered, the water of which was said to have miraculous effects. The church of John the Baptist was built next to the spring in 1602 and a bath was built in the course of the 17th century, which became a destination for pilgrimages after the recatholization. Until the replacement of patrimonial in 1848 Deštná belonged to the Červená Lhota rule .
After the Battle of the White Mountain , Ruth's property was confiscated and the imperial general Balthasar de Maradas received Červená Lhota. Marasas sold the rule to the imperial Rittmeister and garrison commander of Neuhaus , Antonio de Bruccio. Under Bruccio, bathing at the mineral spring took off. In 1638 he left 300 guilders to the Church of John the Baptist. Wilhelm Slawata became the new owner . Under the Slawata , the city's privileges were expanded; there were also the salt trade and the wine bar in the town hall. In 1687 the Slawata bore the costs of adding a church tower to St. Otto's Church. After the male line of Slawata died out, Ernst Friedrich Graf zu Windisch-Graetz acquired the property in 1693 . In 1755 it was bought by Franz de Paula, Baron de Gudenus.
In 1774 a fire broke out in the town, which left most of Deštná in ruins. The church registers burned and the church bells melted. In 1796 the Silesian nobleman Ignaz Freiherr von Stillfried acquired the town. In his wake came the Klik family of rope makers and Stillfried's servants, who were able to settle on the Neuhof estate. Their descendants expanded the settlement and the village Stillfriedsdorf was created. In the Neuhof Stillfried housed the seriously ill and destitute composer Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf from 1796 until his death in 1799.
After the Stillfried, Theresia Veith followed in 1820 and, from 1835, the Princes of Schönburg . After the removal of patrimonial Deštná became an independent town. After the Second World War, the place lost its city rights. Since October 10, 2006 Deštná is a city again.
