history

The village was laid out as a round ; the old town square located close to the municipal office, the historic town center form the houses Nos. 1, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 35, and the torn Haus Nr. 8 Křičeň one of the possessions of the Benedictine Opatowitz that during the Hussite Wars in 1421 was destroyed.

The first written mention of Křičeň took place in 1436, when King Sigismund overwrote the village along with Ždánice, Dolany and Rohoznice to Diviš Bořek von Miletínek . At the end of the 15th century, Wilhelm von Pernstein acquired the village. When Jaroslav von Pernstein sold the Kunburg domain to King Ferdinand I in 1560 , Křičeň was one of their estates.

In 1835 the village of Křičen , located in the Chrudim district , consisted of 40 houses in which 302 people, including four Protestant families, lived. There was a school in the village. The parish was Wositz . Until the middle of the 19th century, Křičen remained subordinate to the Imperial and Royal Chamber of Commerce Pardubice.

After the abolition of patrimonial Kříčeň formed from 1849 a municipality in the judicial district of Pardubice . From 1868 the community belonged to the Pardubitz district . The village has been called Křičeň since the end of the 19th century . 1949 Křičeň was assigned to the Okres Pardubice-okolí; this was lifted in the course of the territorial reform of 1960, since then the village has belonged to Okres Pardubice. At the beginning of 1976 it was incorporated into Bohdaneč. On November 24, 1990, Křičeň broke away from Lázně Bohdaneč and formed its own municipality.
