After the fall of the monastery in the Hussite Wars, it came under the rule of Opočno . In the course of history it belonged to the Černíkovice estate and finally to the Kolowrat family on Rychnov nad Kněžnou .

The residents lived from woodcutting, ash distillery, glassmaking, charcoal burning and working in sawmills, grinding mills and glassworks. In addition, mountain pasture farming was practiced; almost all of them earned an extra income with woodworking crafts and fancy dressing .

After patrimonial was replaced, Deschney became an independent municipality in 1848, which from 1850 belonged to the Neustadt an der Mettau district administration .

After the Munich Agreement , Deschney came to the German Reich in October 1938 and became part of the Grulich district . At that time, 900 people lived in 211 houses in Deschney. After the Second World War, the majority of Germans were expelled . In 1950 the community had 922 inhabitants. In the second half of the 20th century, the number of inhabitants fell again when many people moved away. Jedlová v Orlických horách was incorporated in 1949.
