The first written mention of Polešovice is from 1220, when it was owned by the newly-established Cistercian monastery in Velehrad. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul was first mentioned in 1320, but it was destroyed by the Hussites in 1421. After the Hussite Wars, the church was built again. In 1595, Polešovice was promoted to a town by Emperor Rudolf II.[2]
