history
The first written mention of Vísky was in 1464, but the place is much older. Vísky originally consisted of the three rounds Horní Vísky, Prostřední Vísky and Dolní Vísky, which over time grew together into a village. From 1770 school lessons began in Vísky.
After the abolition of patrimonial Vísky formed from 1850 a parish in the district administration Boskovice . In 1889 the school moved into its own school building. In 1896 a post office opened in Vísky, which was also a branch of the Post Office Savings Bank. In 1897 the teacher Jan Matoušek set up a community library. Matoušek also ran the post office. In 1902 the community bought a fire engine. To the east of the village, construction work for the Reichsautobahn Vienna-Breslau took place between 1939 and 1941 . In the last days of the Second World War, Vísky was occupied by the Wehrmacht , on May 9, 1945 the German troops fled the village. The road connection between Letovice, Vísky, Pamětice and Míchov was established in 1950. At the beginning of 1961 Vísky was assigned to the Okres Blansko . Together with the municipalities of Pamětice and Míchov, the project of the School for Rural Renewal ( Škola obnovy venkova ), which is based in Vísky, was created in 1999 .

Attractions
- Parish Church of St. Michael im Oberdorf, the originally Romanesque church was built in the 13th century and is one of the oldest churches in Moravia. It received its present form around 1640. One of the two church bells dates from the Gothic period and, according to tradition, is said to be the oldest in Moravia. It bears an enigmatic old Czech inscription made of Gothic minuscules. Legends tell that a pilgrim from the Orient read on the bell of a great battle below Vísky after which the stream at the Pastvisko mill was soaked with blood the next morning. The inscription was partially deciphered in November 2009 by the director of the Blansko Museum, Eva Nečasová.
