History

The first written mention of Hrubý Jeseník is from 1088, when King Vratislaus II donated the village to the Vyšehrad Chapter. Until the 16th century, Hrubý Jeseník was owned by various less important noblemen. In the 16th century, the village was acquired by the Křinecký of Ronov family, who joined it to the Křinec estate. During the Thirty Years' War, the village was almost completely destroyed. At the end of the 17th century, the estate was bought by the Morzin family.[2]
