The story
The first written mention of Horky is from 1268. In the 14th century, the village was divided into two parts with different owners. One part belonged to the Chlum estate and later Žleby estate. The other part was owned by various burghers and lesser noblemen. They resided in a fortress, first mentioned in 1454.
In 1532, the town of Čáslav acquired the entire Horky. The fortress fell into disrepair and disappeared. Čáslav owned the village until 1623, when it was bought by Albrecht von Wallenstein and annexed to the Žleby estate. From 1634 to 1739, Horky was part of the Tupadly estate. From 1739 until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848, Horky again belonged to the Žleby estate.
