The story
The first written mention of Mikulovice is from 1263. It was founded in the 13th century, during the colonisation by the bishops of Wrocław, who owned the area.
Mikulovice became part of the Duchy of Nysa, which later on passed under Bohemian suzerainty, and following the duchy's dissolution in 1850, it was incorporated directly into Bohemia. Following World War I, from 1918, it formed part of Czechoslovakia.
From 1938 to 1945, the municipality was occupied by Germany and administered as part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland. During World War II, the German occupying administration operated several forced labour subcamps of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.
In 1907, Mikulovice became a market town, but lost the title during the reformation in 1949.
