History

The first written mention of Lysovice is from 1465. Lysovice was referred to as property of the Dominican convent in Olomouc in 1519 and probably was its property since foundation of the village. In 1685, the convent sold the village to Count Dominik Ondřej of Kaunitz, who joined it to his Slavkov estate.[2]

Until 1945, Lysovice belonged to the German-speaking enclave called Vyškov Language Island. The coexistence of Czechs and Germans was mostly peaceful, which changed only after 1935, when many Germans tended to Nazism. In 1945, the German population was expelled and the municipality was resettled by Czech and Volhynian Czech families.[2][3]

Sights

The main landmark of Lysovice is the Church of Sacred Heart. It was built in the pseudo-Historicism style in 1926.[6]

Lysovice consists of well-preserved farmsteads from the beginning of the 19th century, supplemented by younger buildings, and is protected as a village monument zone. The houses here are characterized by the so-called žudry, which are massive risalits typical of the folk architecture of this area.[7]
