history

The house was built in 1818 by Matěj Borovský. In 1821 his son Karel Havlíček Borovský was born in the house, who spent the first years of his life here and attended elementary school in the village.

When celebrations in honor of Karel Havlíček Borovský took place in the village for the first time in 1862, a round relief with a side view of Borovský was attached to the building in the lower gable.

The museum opened in 1931. In 1978 it was declared a National Cultural Monument.

The initial closure during the 2011 winter season led to protests as the museum had remained open even during the communist era.
