history
Vykáň arose at the crossroads of two medieval trade routes that led from Brandeis to Bohemian Brod and from Prague to Podebrady . The first written mention of the village, which had previously belonged to the Slavnikid possessions , took place in 993, when Bishop Adalbert of Prague left the place to the Břevnov monastery . The monastery held the property until the Hussite Wars in 1420. At the beginning of the 17th century, Maria Magdalena von Lobkowicz acquired the property and gave it to the Kounice domain . During the Thirty Years' War the village was burned down by the troops of the Swedish general Banér . Franz Josef I von Liechtenstein set up a branch of the Kounice School in Vykáň in 1773.
After the abolition of patrimonial Vykáň formed a political municipality in the Český Brod district from 1850 . Since 1961 the community belongs to Okres Nymburk. Vykáň today consists of 138 houses.
