Historyedit
The first written mention of Zbiroh is from 1230. It was a market village which was promoted to a market town in 1369. During the rule of the Rosenberg family, Zbiroh developed and acquired various rights. In 1897, Zbiroh was promoted to a town by Franz Joseph I.[2]
The first kill house in Czechoslovakia was built in 1947 in a police school in Zbiroh by World War II veterans of the Czechoslovak Army that had been trained in Great Britain.[3]
Zbiroh Castle is the most important monument. The original Romanesque-Gothic castle was built at the end of the 12th[6] century or in the early 13th[2] century, and belongs to the oldest aristocratic residences in the country. At the end of the 16th century, it was rebuilt into its current appearance of a large Renaissance castle. The landmark of the original castle part is the oldest detached watch tower in the Czech Republic.[6] The well located in Zbiroh Castle, 163 m (535 ft) deep, is one of the deepest castle wells in Europe.[7]
The Church of Saint Nicholas was originally a Gothic building, rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1719–1720.[8]
