History


The first written mention of Skály is from 1365. The village was owned by various lower nobles, and the owners often changed. In 1397, Jan of Skály was documented as the owner of Skály. Shortly after the village was sold to the Kočka family, who held it until 1509. In 1543, when Skály was property of the Litochleb of Strachotínek family, a fort in the village was mentioned for the first time, but this building has not been preserved.[2]

The village of Budičovice was first mentioned in 1399.[3]
