history

According to legend, Prince Bořivoj is said to have been attacked by an injured aurochs while hunting in the thick forests at that time and was saved from the emergency by Prince Záhoř. As a thank you, Bořivoj is said to have donated the forests to Záhoř, who built a fortress in them , around which the village of Záhoři, named after its founder, arose. The farm name U Zemanů (No. 1) can probably be traced back to this legend. In fact, the place names Zhoř, Zhořec, Žďár, Žďárec etc., which are not uncommon in the Czech Republic, are typical settlement names from the time of land expansion for villages that were slashed and burned .

Zhorz was first mentioned in a document in 1557 under the property of the Benedictine monastery Wilmzell . After the monastery was abandoned around 1575, King Rudolf II sold the desert monastery with the villages of Bučowitz, Heřmanitz, Borek, Hostaulitz, Zhoř, Jakubowitz, Zdanitz, Ponstwy, Kmec and Čestowitz as well as other accessories to Beneš Beneda from Nečtiny in 1577. At the end of the 17th century, the Counts Caretto von Milessimo acquired the Wilimow rule and later elevated it to the family entourage . At that time the village was called Zhorž .

In 1840 the village of Zhoř in the Caslauer Kreis consisted of 9 houses in which 61 people lived. The parish and office was a monastery . Until the middle of the 19th century Zhoř remained subject to the Fideikommissherrschaft Wilimow.

After the abolition of patrimonial Zhoř formed from 1849 a district of the municipality Nasavrky in the judicial district of Habern . From 1868 the place belonged to the Časlau district . In 1869 Zhoř had 58 inhabitants and consisted of 9 houses. In 1900 there were 56 people in Zhoř, in 1910 there were 52. Zhoř and Jakubovice broke away from Nasavrky in 1921 and formed the municipality of Zhoř. In 1930 Zhoř had 46 inhabitants and consisted of 7 houses. In 1948 the community was assigned to the Okres Chotěboř, since the territorial reform of 1960 it has belonged to the Okres Havlíčkův Brod . In 1961 it was incorporated into Vilémov. In the 2001 census there were no permanent residents in the 5 houses in the village.
