History

The first written mention of Přibyslav is from 1257. Until the Hussite Wars, it was a small mining town known for silver mining. After the wars, the mining was never successfully renewed. During the Hussite Wars, Přibyslav was a military base of the Hussites. The town was often severely affected by wars and by frequent fires, which destroyed many historically valuable buildings. The most devastating fire occurred in 1767.
