history
The year Spytihněv was founded is unknown. It is believed that it was built during the reign of Duke Břetislav I and was named after his son Spytihněv II . He is said to have built the prince's castle "castrum Zpitignew", which served the national defense and was supposed to ward off the Hungarian and Polish incursions. At the same time it was a military and administrative center of a larger territory that stretched to the left and right of the March. The church on top of the castle served as a spiritual center.
Spytihněv was first mentioned in a document in 1141 in a property register of the Olomouc bishop Heinrich Zdík , which also proves the existence of a parish church. The "castrum Zpitignew" sank around 1200, probably as a result of a flood. Spytihněv was the seat of an archdeaconate , which was renewed under Bishop Bruno von Schauenburg . After the expansion of the Premyslid power to the south, the place lost its military importance. In 1318 Spytihněv came to the Diocese of Olomouc , from which it was sold to aristocrats under Bishop Stanislaus Pavlovský von Pavlovitz in 1582. It then lost its importance and has been an agricultural village ever since.
