history
The area was also settled early by humans.

At that time, this area was one of the densely populated areas. The remains of mammoths and woolly rhinos also date from this early period .
The area was on the trade route from the Adriatic to the Baltic States . The first fortification was built on the Holý Kopec around 1200 to 800 BC. At the same time, the castle at Roštín guarded the path that started from the Salzkammergut. The Amber Road and the Salt Road met at Kroměříž and Chřiby and thus formed an important part of these trade routes. At the confluence of the Morava and Olšava rivers , a Roman fortress was later built . After the settlement by Slavs , the area became a commercial and administrative center with important sites for the army and the church. It is believed that the area is the origin of the Great Moravian Empire .

To protect it, the Přemyslids had two hunting courts set up in Stříbrnice and Lubná . The Lowczowe prawo of Stříbrnice later the received blood jurisdiction of Buchlov transferred and held this out to the 1748th
