history
The city was first mentioned in writing as Wywar in 1205 . The dominion in Weißkirchen was a Hungarian fiefdom, which was given to Kaspar Schlick by Emperor Albrecht II after the Stibor von Stibrowitz died out in 1438 . In 1736 the city was acquired by Franz I Stephan (HRR) , the husband of Maria Theresa . Among other things, he built a porcelain and faience factory, which led to the city's growth. Maria Theresa had the Holíč Castle converted from a fortress into a summer palace of the Habsburgs.
Holíč's once thriving Jewish community has completely disappeared in the Holocaust.
