The Mirovská hora (594 m) rises to the south. The state road 315 between Lanškroun and Zábřeh and the railway line from Česká Třebová to Zábřeh runs through the village .

Neighboring towns are Drozdovská Pila and Drozdov in the north, Kosov in the northeast, Hněvkov in the southeast, Hynčina in the south and the hamlet Popelák in the southwest.

history

Hoštejn was created in the 13th century in connection with the castle of the same name. In a list of the Augustinian monastery Mariakron , the predicate z Hoštejna (Latin de Honstein , German von Hochstein ) appears for the first time in 1267 , which its founder Boresch von Riesenburg from the family of the Hrabischitzer gave to his burgrave Mutisson von Hochstein . In 1285 Friedrich von Schönburg became the owner of the castle , who was also the guardian of Boresch children. He was followed Zawisch of Falkenstein . The first documentary evidence of the castle is a contract from 1289, in which Wenceslaus II exchanged parts of the confiscated property of Zawisch with the Margrave of Meissen, Albrecht II . Jaroslav von Sternberg († 1360) has been the owner of the castle and village since 1355 . The history of the castle, which had become a base of the Hussites in 1424 and finally burned down as a robbery nest in 1437, ends in the 15th century . Since 1446 it has been described as desolate .

Since 1351 there is evidence of a parish in Hoštejn, which was then Latinized as Altuslapis , which was assigned to the Litomyšl diocese .

In 1464 the rule of Hochstein with the desert castle and the place Hochstein from the possession of the Sternbergers passed to Jan Tunkl on Hohenstadt and Brníčko . In 1509 Heinrich / Jindřich Tunkl sold Hohenstadt with Hochstein to Nikolaus Trčka von Lípa . In 1513 Ladislav von Boskowitz acquired the property. At that time the robber AV Šembera and his gang had taken up residence on the ruins of the castle and in 1519 the governor Archleb von Boskowitz raised the rabble. Under the Boskowitz the rule became wealthy and in 1589 Jan von Boskowitz bequeathed Hohenstadt with Hochstein to his nephew Ladislav Velen von Žerotín . After the battle of the White Mountain , the Žerotín people lost their property, which Karl von Liechtenstein received.

During the Thirty Years War, Hochstein was devastated and the former spot lost its importance. Since the village has not had a church since then, the construction of the Annenkapelle began in 1769, which was consecrated in 1773 and expanded into a small church in 1815. In 1842 the construction of the railway from Prague to Olomouc began with the Imperial and Royal Northern State Railways and in 1845 the first train passed through Hoštejn. Because of the enormous importance of railway construction, the Klein entrepreneurial family had a sandstone obelisk erected on the castle hill in 1847, which the vernacular reported that the real reason was the millionfold profit of the company and was therefore given the name Millionstein .

From 1862 the entrepreneur Josef Schuppler from Tatenice converted the stately mill into a modern sawmill with an electric turbine drive. In the Moravská Sázava valley below the Homole, the entrepreneur Suchomel from Litovel built another sawmill between 1891 and 1891, to which a wood goods factory was attached.

After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and belonged to the Hohenstadt district until 1945 .

After the Second World War, the Liechtenstein family and the Schuppler family were expropriated. In 1950 the village had 310 inhabitants. In July 1997 Hoštejn suffered severe damage from the floods of the Moravská Sázava and Březná.
