History

The first written mention of Zlobice is from 1078, when Prince Otto I of Olomouc donated the village to the newly established Hradisko Monastery in Olomouc. In 1573, the abbot Jan Poniatowski sold Zlobice to the Haugwitz family, who annexed it to their Chropyně estate. In 1615, the estate was bought by Cardinal Franz von Dietrichstein. From that time until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848, the estate was a property of Olomouc bishopric.^[3]
