Horschan Locations

Text

The settlement on the border of the Kolin and Kuttenberg regions was likely inhabited since ancient times. In the 1970s, a borehole discovered a prehistoric granary with remains of pottery of the so-called Knovíz culture (8th-6th century BC).
Regarding preserved records, Horschan is mentioned in 1299, when Wenceslas II handed it over to the Sedletz monastery and Markvart Šik of Kuttenberg. In 1437, Sigismund of Luxembourg (by then already Emperor) pledged the village to the ‘Hussite King’, George of Podiebrad.
