History

The first written mention of Spálov is from 1394, when the village belonged to the Potštát estate. This was valid up to 1611, when Spálov became a separate estate. In 1669, Spálov was bought by the Schertz family. They introduced silver mining here and rebuilt the local fortress into a castle. From 1743 to 1883, the estate was owned by the Záviš family. During their rule, in 1828, Spálov was promoted to a market town.[2]
