history

The place is named after the pagan deity Radegast . There was probably a sacred grove or a pagan sacrificial site on the church hill ; During the excavation for the construction of the road to Stradouň, the remains of a fireplace were found. In addition, an early urn was found on the church hill and a large number of human bones were found under the death house in the 1940s. When the foundations of the church were uncovered, the body graves of noble men were discovered, and they were buried in unusual shops.

The first written mention of the Otaslav of Radhošť and his son Ar Kleb belonging to the Radhošť fort was made in 1226 in a document from King Ottokar I. Přemysl . The church was probably built in the 13th century; It was first mentioned in 1349 in a document from Archbishop Ernst von Pardubitz , in which this Pope Clement VI. informed about the outsourcing of churches of the Archdeaconate of Königgrätz into the new diocese Litomyšl . In 1350 the Radhošť parish comprised 30 villages. In 1385 Petr von Radhošť owned the property, in 1443 it belonged to Henik von Radhošť. Later the estate was administered by the royal town of Hohenmauth for a while, after which it belonged to Přibík Sekerka von Sedčice. The next owner was Heřman Lukavský of Lukavice, who added the Radhošť manor to his rule Zámrsk . His heirs sold the estate to Diviš Slavata of Chlum and Koschumberg , who incorporated it into his Chroustovice estate . Later the rule belonged to the Choltitz family branch of the von von Gersdorff family , whose goods were confiscated after the battle of the White Mountain . During the Thirty Years' War the Radhošť parish became extinct and the church became a subsidiary of the Chroustovice parish. In 1667 the first inn was opened in Radhošť. From 1671 the Chroustovice estate belonged to Count Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky ; Franz Karl Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky sold it to Hieronymus Graf Capece Marchese de Rofrano in 1721. His daughter Maria Theresia Capece married Leopold Ferdinand Johann Graf Kinsky in 1735 ; In 1778 her son Philipp Graf Kinsky inherited the rule. Since the introduction of compulsory schooling in Radhošť, lessons were first taught in the parish hall No. 8, and later in the Meierhof . In 1788 a new localist house was built. Philipp Graf Kinsky had a wooden schoolhouse built in 1808. In 1823 Kinsky sold the allodial rule Chraustowitz with 23 villages to Karl Alexander von Thurn und Taxis .

In 1835, the in consisted Chrudim District village located Radhoštěm or Radhosst of 27 houses, where 148 people lived. The local church of St. George, the localist house and the school were under the patronage of the authorities. There was also a meierhof with a civil servants' residence and a sheep farm in the village. The Radhosstie , Zeleny , Valenta and Blatnik ponds were in the vicinity . The ruins of the Gestřepetz ( Jestříbec ) castle, which stood east of the village on the edge of the Radhoschter pond, had already disappeared by then and replaced by fields and pastures. Radhoscht was the parish for Tinisko , Schika , Stradaun , Sedlisky ( Sedlíšťka ) and Jaroslaw . Until the middle of the 19th century, Stradaun remained subject to the allodial rule of Chraustowitz.

From 1868 the community belonged to the political district Hohenmauth . In 1869 Radhošť had 222 inhabitants and consisted of 31 houses.

In 1875 a two-class schoolhouse was built for 7,800 guilders, which was expanded in 1893 for three-class teaching. The children from Sedlíšťka, Janovičky, Trusnov, Týnišťko and Jaroslav also started school after Radhošť. In 1900 178 people lived in the village, in 1910 there were 253.
