Historyedit
The first written mention of Roštín is from 1240. In 1250, the village was mentioned as property of the monastery in Velehrad. The settlement was probably located around the Church of Saint James the Great. After it was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War, it was restored on its current location.[2]
Throughout the centuries, it was owned by various lower noblemen, and several times merged with neighbouring Cetechovice and then separated again.[2]
