History

This Gau belonging to the Slavic grad Hostýnské upper Rusavatal in the Host One mountains was inhabited during the Early Middle Ages. However, the settlements went out again. The first written mention of the desert villages Gencze ( Jence ) Gestrzebie ( Jestřebí ) Antiqualhota ( Stara Lhota ) and Wysokalhota ( Vysoká Lhota ) was carried out in 1372 by a provision of Margrave Jan Heinrich over the goods of the castle Obřany. These were with the exception of today belonging to Chvalčov Wüstung Jence or Janče the corridors of the church today Rusava. The desertions Lhota Wysoka and Lhota Stara were again mentioned in 1466 in connection with the desert castle Křídlo.

At the beginning of the 16th century Wallachian shepherds put individual Salaschen in the long reconquered from the forest valley. During the Thirty Years' War, the valley served as a refuge Wallachian Protestants against the imperial troops.

The foundation of the present-day village was carried out in a document issued on April 23, 1657 at Castle Holešov certificate by the Moravian Captain Johann Anton von Rottalblick. The first inhabitants of Rottalowice mentioned settlement were freed six years of any Fronleistungen and fees. After this period, an annual tax of four guilders and 30 cruisers in the rule Bystřice pod Hostynem and during harvest time, a three-day Robot in the yard Holešov were due from each property. Later, the government pulled a Memorandum and tried in vain to raise taxes and compulsory labor rather low. Looking at the names of the settlers can, however, suggest that most of them do not voluntarily came to Rottalowice, but formerly insurgent Vlachs from Rott Valley dominions Vsetín, Vizovice and Lukov were who were forcibly resettled. In 1667, of the 29 were property of Rottalowice again ten desolate. 1672 the site was designated as Rothalowicze. Ultimately, the colonization was still successful, particularly the convenient location in the hard to reach the valley meant that during the invasions of Hungary numerous residents from the Hanna sought refuge here and also remained. In 1778 lived in the village of about 800 people; 125 Chalupner had meadows, pasture or forest land. Until the mid- 19th century, the village remained subservient always Bystřice.
