history
Machov was founded in the first half of the 13th century. It belonged to the old Bohemian district of Königgrätz and was owned by the Vladiken of the Adersbach branch of the Berka von Dubá . It formed the center of a rulership that included Machau, Tscherbeney and the enclaves Zbečník ( Sbetschnik ) and Rokytník ( Roketnik ).
The first documentary mention dates from 1354, when the pastor of Machau introduced the pastor of the neighboring parish Tschorbeney into his office. That is why the existence of a parish district, which belonged to the East Bohemian dean's office Dobruška , and a wooden church are recorded for this year . In 1405 Machau came under the rule of Nachod , whereby the border to the properties of the Benedictine monastery in Police nad Metují formed the Židovka, which was called Stekelnice in 1213 and in 1254 as flumen Zürbcsca or Srpská and in German Sichler Bach . While it was called a village before the Hussite Wars , the name “oppidum” ( small town ) is documented for 1465 . Due to its geographical location and the common belonging to the Nachod rule, Machov had strong economic and family ties to the Bohemian Corner . After this in 1477 by Duke Heinrich d. Ä. was incorporated into the neighboring rule Hummel , which he incorporated into his county Glatz in the same year , Machau now bordered on this.
After the Thirty Years War, only 85 people lived in Machau. In 1634 it came to the imperial general Octavio Piccolomini together with the Nachod reign . In 1740 the first school was set up, in 1761 the privilege as a market town was renewed and the coat of arms was probably awarded at the same time. After the county of Glatz fell to Prussia in 1763 , Machau now bordered on this, or from 1816 on the district of Glatz . During his round trip along the Saxon and Silesian border, during which he visited the battle sites of the Seven Years' War , Emperor Joseph II , coming from Barzdorf , reached Machau on July 3, 1766. Since he could not continue the journey until the next day due to bad weather, he stayed at Machauer Schulzen's . The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1892 and a textile factory was built in 1910. Machau was electrified in 1920 and a municipal school was set up in 1924. From the 1930s Machau developed into a winter sports resort.
In 1949 the neighboring villages of Machovská Lhota and Nízká Srbská on the right side of the stream were incorporated. In 1961 Bělý and Řeřišný were added. In 2006 the status of Městys was renewed.
