The first written record of the goods Zdar took place in 1379 as part of the archbishop's rule Herálec . During the Hussite Wars , secular lords took possession of the estate, and during this time Žďár was attached to the Lipnice Castle . In 1436 Nikolaus Trčka von Lípa acquired the Lipnice estate including Žďár . Later the Lords Trčka from Lípa moved the seat of the lordship to Světlá . The Žďár manor fell in 1591; Families were later settled in its corridors. After the murder of Adam Erdmann Trčka von Lípa, Emperor Ferdinand II confiscated his property and those of his father Jan Rudolf Trčka von Lípa on March 29, 1634 , the total estimated value of which was 4,000,000 guilders ; the confiscation patent was confirmed in May 1636 by the Reichshofrat in Vienna.

Ferdinand II had the rule of Světlá broken up into landed goods and sold them to his favorites. The Lipnice estate was acquired in 1636 by the Imperial Chamberlain and Colonel Sergeant Matthäus Vernier de Rougemont and Orchamp. The Žďár manor was later separated from Lipnice and given to the Habern rulership . The former manor Žďár was raised to a manor, its owner from 1654 the imperial judge of Deutschbrod , Johann Hendrych von Lewenfels. At the end of the 17th century, the Žďár manor was added to the Okrouhlice manor. In 1708 Johann Peter Straka von Nedabylic and Libčan acquired the Okrauhlitz estate from Michael Achatius von Kirchner. In his will, laid down in 1710, he ordered the establishment of the Straka Foundation for the establishment of a noble knight academy for young impoverished aristocrats. In addition to his estates Okrauhlitz, Liebtschan and Ober Weckelsdorf , whose value was estimated at 377,000 guilders, cash assets of 38,542 guilders also flowed into this . After the Count Straka von Nedabylic family died out, the three estates were administered as the Count Straka Foundation from 1771 . Since the Straka Academy had not come into being, in 1782, by order of Emperor Joseph I, an annual scholarship was awarded from the proceeds of the three estates for studying Bohemian young men of the aristocratic class in all kk hereditary lands.

Attractions

• Chapel of St. Wenzel, the Romanesque building stands under the mighty crowns of four linden trees in the village square. The oldest of the trees was probably planted in the middle of the 15th century, the other three were replanted in 1862 by the teacher Werenbergr. During the First World War, Petr Pecha refused to hand over the bell as a war aid. After his punishment, the residents paid the costs. When the bell was due to be picked up on April 18, 1918, it had disappeared; two residents had hung them up the night before and hidden them under newspapers in the vault. In 1933 the chapel was repaired and rededicated from the proceeds of a collection. During the Second World War the bell was requisitioned as war metal. The day before Christmas 1946 the chapel received a new bell from the workshop of R. Matoušek in Brno .
