The story
The history of the village is connected with Litice Castle, which was founded in the 13th century. The first written mention of Záchlumí is from 1365, when Jan of Lichtemburk sold the Litice estate to Jindřich of Lipá. From the abolishment of serfdom in the mid-19th century until 1975, Záchlumí, Bohousová and Litice nad Orlicí were three separate municipalities. On 1 January 1976, they were merged and have since formed the current municipality.
