history

The oldest surviving mention of the place comes from 1303. In 1340 Charles IV granted him market rights. On November 11, 1421 Jan Žižka took Malešov. On June 7, 1424, a contingent of radical Hussites under the command of Jan Žižka defeated a joint army of moderate Prague Hussites and the Catholic nobility in the Battle of Maleschau .

Maleschau was the eponymous place for the Maleschau dominion , which was bought in 1710 by the Counts of Ostein , which Friedrich Karl Anton von Dalberg inherited in 1809 and which thus came to the family of the Barons von Dalberg . When this family with Johannes Evangelist von Dalberg died out in 1940, the inheritance passed to his cousin Maria Anna von und zu Dalberg (1897–1979), who was married to Prince Franz Emanuel Konstantin zu Salm and Salm-Salm (1876–1965), shortly afterwards it was expropriated by Czechoslovakia in 1945 .

Since 2006 Malešov has again had the status of Městys.
