The first written mention is from 1227 when Loukoť, a part of Brandýs nad Orlicí, was mentioned. At the end of the 13th century, a large castle was built here. In the second half of the 15th century, Brandýs nad Orlicí became the significant centre of the Moravian Church. During the rule of the Pernštejn family in 1507, the castle was demolished.[2]

From 1652 to 1806, the town was owned by the Trautmannsdorf family.[3] The family had a castle and the Church of the Assumption of Jesus built here. In the second half of the 19th century, the railway was built and Brandýs nad Orlicí became a popular resort visited by many famous people. In 1898, the rehabilitation institute was established.[2]

The main railway line between Pardubice and Česká Třebová runs through the town.
