History
History
The first written mention of Jimramov is from 1361. A fortress in Jimramov is documented in 1392. In 1537, Jimramov was promoted to a market town by King Ferdinand I. Until 1588, the estate was owned by the Pernštejn family, who sold it to Pavel Katharin of Kathar. This nobleman chose Jimramov as his seat and had the town hall and a castle built here. Jimramov reached the greatest prosperity in the 18th century. It became the cultural centre of evangelicals. From 1778 until 1948, the castle was owned by the Italian noble family of Belcredi. In 1991, the Belcredi family regained the castle in restitution.

• Illustration — Jimramov Castle The Jimramov Castle was built in the Renaissance style in 1593. The northern wing was added in the 18th century and the western wing in the 19th century. The castle complex includes the neo-Gothic tomb of the Belcredi family from 1869. The castle is inaccessible to the public. The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary is as old as the market town. The tower was added in 1506 and the originally Romanesque building was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1707–1715. In the 18th century, it was connected by a corridor to the castle.
