History
History
The first written mention of Cítoliby is from 1325, when it was a royal property. The owners often changed and included various lower noble families. From 1570 to 1630, the Cítoliby estate was a property of the Hruška family, who first expanded the estate significantly, but then part of it was confiscated from them as a result of the Battle of White Mountain. During the Thirty Years' War, Cítoliby was looted repeatedly. In 1698, the almost entire village burned down. The last aristocratic owners of Cítoliby before the establishment of an independent municipality was the Schwarzenberg family, which acquired it in 1803. In 1873, Cítoliby was promoted to a market town.

• Illustration — Church of Saint James the Great; Cítoliby Castle in the background Among the main landmarks of Cítoliby is the castle and the church. The Church of Saint James the Great was built in the Baroque style in 1713–1715. The Cítoliby Castle was built in 1665 and rebuilt in the Baroque style before 1717. A technical monument is the former waterworks. It was built before 1727 for the needs of the castle water supply and probably rebuilt in 1885. This solitary building is also a landmark of the town square.
