Historyedit
The first written mention of Hrotovice is in a deed of King Ottokar I from 1228. The owners were various lesser noble families and changed frequently. For the longest time, Hrotovice was the property of the Osovský of Doubravice family, who owned it from 1420 until the end of the 16th century.[2]
The main landmark of the town square is the castle. It was a Renaissance castle on medieval foundations, rebuilt in the current Baroque form. Today, the town hall is located here.[5]
An important monument is the Church of Saint Lawrence. It is a late Romanesque building with Baroque modifications.[6]
The former village of Mstěnice is an archaeologically important location. The existence of the village was first documented in 1393. The village was abolished in 1468. The foundations of the homesteads have been well preserved.[7]
