The story

The first written mention of Rokytnice v Orlických horách is from 1318. In 1487, Rokytnice divided from the Rychnov estate and became the centre of a separate estate. In 1548, when the estate and the market town of Rokytnice were acquired by the Licek of Rýzmburk family, a water fortress was built here. From 1567, Rokytnice was owned by various German noble families and colonised by German people, especially craftsmen.

From 1712 to 1938, the Jewish community was present. Rokytnice was promoted to a town in 1852. The railway was opened in 1906. The Germans made up the majority of population until World War II, but in 1945, the German-speaking population was expelled.
