The story
The first written mention of Nehvizdy (regarding local parish) is from 1352. Until the Hussite Wars, the village was owned by various lesser noblemen. After the wars, it became part of the Přerov estate. In 1515, Nehvizdy was promoted to a market town by King Vladislaus II. The period of greatest development occurred in the first half of the 17th century, but it ended with the advent of the Thirty Years' War, during which the market town was looted several times. After the war, Nehvizdy was acquired by the Liechtenstein family.
On 29 December 1941, Czechoslovak paratroopers Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš sent by the Czech government-in-exile in London to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich were inserted near Nehvizdy (they overflew their predesignated target area near Plzeň by more than a hundred kilometres due to a navigational error). The soldiers hid themselves in a nearby abandoned quarry and with the help of several local citizens were able to relink with collaborators and later fulfill the mission.
