history
The first written mention of the fortress and the village of Lethoschow took place in 1374 as the seat of Vladiken Jindřich von Nevojice. In 1474, Mikuláš Bystřice von Ojnice was named as the owner of the fortress. In the 16th century Jan Šembera Černohorský von Boskowitz acquired Letošov together with Nevojice . After the Boskowitz family died out in 1597, Letošov fell to the Liechtenstein family . When the Hungarians and Cumans invaded Moravia, Letošov was almost wiped out during the Thirty Years' War. In 1624 the invaders got into a devastating ambush near Letošov. In the past, a large number of bones were found on the battlefield, which is located on a hill less than a kilometer from the village. After the end of the war, 27 of the 32 properties in the village were in desolation . At the beginning of the 18th century Letošov consisted of 48 houses. The village was first parish after Bučovice . In 1785 Letošov was assigned to the newly established parish Nevojice. In the same year a parish school was established in Nevojice, in which the children from Letošov were also educated. In 1833 cholera broke out in Letošov . In 1834 288 people lived in the 51 houses in the village.
After the abolition of patrimonial Letošov was from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Wischau . In 1855 the road from Letošov via Nové Zámky to Snovídky was built. In 1866 the village was hit again by a cholera epidemic. In the 1870s a railway line was built in the Litava valley, which led from Brno via Hungarian Hradisch to the Wlara pass . Rail traffic was started in 1878. In 1880 Letošov consisted of 70 houses. In 1885 a one-class village school was established in Letošov. In 1890 the Liechtensteiners united the lords of Steinitz and Butschowitz to form Gut Butschowitz-Steinitz. In 1896 a joint volunteer fire brigade was founded for Letošov and Nesovice. This split three years later after disputes between the community leaders in two fire departments in Letošov and Nesovice. The school was expanded in 1910 for a two-class school operation. During the land reform between 1921 and 1924, parts of the Nové Zámky estate were parceled out and sold to residents of the villages of Nesovice, Nové Zámky, Letošov and Dobročkovice. In 1930 the Letošov municipality consisted of 95 houses and had 421 inhabitants. In 1933, the municipality of Nesovice bought the Vysoká forest southeast of Letošov from the princes of Liechtenstein. Part of it was cleared and the district of Nové Zámky extended along the road to Snovídky to the left bank of the Litava. As a result, Nesovice, Letošov and Nové Zámky grew together. In 1938 the road from Bučovice to Brankovice was laid north of the village . During this time, the double-track expansion of the railway line began. In 1942 Letošov was incorporated into Nesovice. The schools in Letošov and Nesovice were merged with the beginning of the school year 1954/55. From then on, the Nesovice school was used as a primary school and the Letošov school was used as a kindergarten. Between 1950 and 1960 Letošov belonged to the Okres Bučovice and after its abolition came back to the Okres Vyškov at the beginning of 1961 . In 1991 Letošov had 336 inhabitants. In the 2001 census, 334 people lived in the village's 131 houses.
