For long centuries of its existence, the Třebíč became an important economic, administrative, political and cultural heart of south Moravia. Its origins date back to the year 1101, when Moravian appanage princes Oldrich Brno and Znojmo Litold founded a Benedictine monastery. Thanks to the generosity of the founders belonged to the richest in the Premyslid State and served as an important center of religious life, education and diligent colonization activities.
Around half of the 13th century (probably in the years 1240 to 1260), a Benedictine convent proceeded to build a new monastery buildings and notable Romanesque-Gothic basilica, which now bears the name of the Virgin Mary and St.. Prokop. Forests basilica and monastery survived the extinction of adversity and is now considered one of the most valuable buildings of this type in the century. Třebíč monastery was then decided to start on the right bank of the river, „on the green turf“ colonial city. Extraordinary says Charles Square area even after many centuries of the founding of the generous gesture of the Benedictines, whose monastic hood has Trebic in an urban character. Very soon after the establishment of Trebic was called out of town, as confirmed by the text of the oldest documents of the 1277th year Enable fortify the ramparts and follow the standard municipal law, following the example of the royal town of Znojmo Třebíč granted to Charles IV. Jan Lucembruským in 1335th The text lists the most important city left dead privilege. The walls built around the mid-14th century to protect the town until the 18th century, when the military lost their meaning, and also prevented the further development of the urban area. Their remains, however, are observable today.
The original Gothic appearance Trebic took her in 1468, when the city was a war between George of Podebrady Matthias Corvinus, and almost destroyed. Is not maintained or Trebic Renaissance as we know from earlier images. After numerous fires were Renaissance and Baroque gables replaced by romantic and historicist facades. The bigger the price, two Renaissance houses on Charles Square – the Františkovská (Painted) and Ráblův (Black). The first belonged to Francesco Calligardimu vlašskému buyers, the second mydlářskému Master Jan Rábl. Both are striking their sgraffito decoration. From the time of building the city, around the mid-13th century comes the parish church. Martin. By far it is visible the massive, tall tower was originally part of the fortifications associated with the church building later. Also, the church suffered destruction in 1468 and has long been for congregational purposes only temporarily repaired. It was not until the early 18th century Baroque vault and got to him were added two side chapels. After the Revolution he served hustistké church. Martin pobělohorského to the non-Catholics. From that time come late Gothic „pernštejsnké“ door to the sacristy (the second half of the 15th century) and Renaissance tin font, which the church gave John Raphael Chroustenský Malovar from the early 17th century.
Before the White Mountain Trebic belonged to the important centers of fraternal unity, especially Jejkov suburbs, where there was a fraternal chapel, hospital and „burial garden.“ The second wife of JA Komensky daughter Dorota pack Třebíč important factor of unity of John Cyril.
Events uprising and survived the Thirty Years’ War the city without too much damage for a long time also successfully defended recatholicization. Architectural symbol of the victory of Catholicism, „returned the old faith“ to Trebic, became a Capuchin monastery with a church on Jejkově. Austere style building Capuchin Church of the Transfiguration of Christ, like the monastery was finished in the 1693rd It stands on the destruction of brotherly chapel.
During the Thirty Years War Trebic whole manor became the property of the Munich-branch Hradiště aristocratic family Wallenstein.
