history
The first written mention of Zborowicz was in 1276 as the seat of Stanimír von Zborowicz. However, the area of the municipality has been inhabited for a much longer period of time; a tomb from the 10th century was found in the Podlavčí corridor. The place arose on an old trade route that led from the Mars Mountains to the Hanna . In 1348 the village was called Sborowicz . In 1353 the place was the seat of Racek and Ješek von Sborouicz . In 1366 he was called Zworowicz . The estate fell to Margrave Johann Heinrich von Racek , who enfeoffed Puta von Hohlenstein with it in 1371 . In 1408 the place was called Zborowicz and in 1446 Zborowicze . Between 1448 and 1464 the estate belonged to the Vladiken Racek von Zborowicz. By purchasing various farms and farms, Zborowicz developed into a small rulership from 1600 onwards. The lords of Zástřizl and the Martinkovský of Rozseč were among the owners, who changed many times . From 1626 the rule belonged to the Moravian court judge Christoph Karl Podstatzky von Prusinowitz . The first written report about the fortress comes from 1638 when František Horecký from Horka bought the estate. His children sold the goods Pohořelice and Březolupy and half of Zborowicz to Attilio Offredi in 1668. Another part belonged to Christoph Rzikowsky von Dobrzicz. František Ferdinand Sak von Bohuňovice, who had acquired Zborowicz in 1690, had the fortress transformed into a castle from 1717. He jointly bequeathed the property to his wife Anna Katherina von Walderode and his daughters in 1720. In 1760, Maximiliane Marie Beatrice Sak ruled to her husband Franz Anton von Rottal . In 1786 the barons of Weißenburg acquired the rule and in the same year bought the Věžky estate . From 1836 the rule belonged to Ephraim Tersch, who sold it to the industrialist Abraham Popper in 1850. In the same year Popper founded one of the first sugar factories in Moravia in Zborovice. A brewery also belonged to the estate. Until the middle of the 19th century, Zborovice formed its own rule, which also included the villages of Věžky and Vlčí Doly .
After the abolition of patrimonial formed Zborovice / Zborowitz 1850 a municipality in the district administration Kroměříž. Popper sold the estate in 1863 to the factory owner Jonas Friess and his sister Antonia Redlich. In 1881 the factory was connected to the Kremsier Railway . On May 24, 1909, Zborovice was raised to the rank of town. Jonas son, Heinrich Friess, who had inherited the property in 1891, converted from Judaism to Catholicism in 1916. He had a golf course and tennis court built on the edge of the palace garden. In 1938 his son Johann emigrated together with his mother before the National Socialists. The estates of the Friess-Redlich family were "Aryanized" during the German occupation . After the Second World War, Zborovice lost its town charter. In 1948, a branch of the Pilana company was established on the site of the sugar factory , which manufactures circular saw blades. At the beginning of 1961 Medlov was incorporated. Since 1995 the community has had a coat of arms and a banner.
