Historyedit
The first written mention of Rosice is from 1259. The most prominent owners of the estate were the Zierotins, who acquired it in 1562 and built a castle here. In 1907, Rosice was promoted to a town by Franz Joseph I of Austria.[2][3]
The D1 motorway from Prague to Brno runs northeast of Rosice, just outside the municipal territory. The I/23 road, which connects the D1 motorway with Třebíč, passes through the town.
Rosice is located on the railway line Brno–Třebíč.[6]

Rosice Castle
Rosice Castle is the main sight in the town. It was built in the Renaissance style in 1570–1579 and replaced a Gothic medieval castle from the 13th century. It is surrounded by a large park. Nowadays a part of the castle is open to the public and another part houses a library and a cultural centre.[3]
The parish Church of Saint Martin is the oldest monument in Rosice. The Romanesque windows in its 34 metres (112 ft)-high tower indicate that the building dates probably from the 12th century. It was rebuilt several times. It has one Gothic and one Renaissance chapel. The interior has its current look since the 18th century.[7]
