History
The first written mention of Žiželice is from 1052, when there was already a church and the village served as a market centre. In 1321, the then owner of Žiželice, Lord Dětoch, founded a new village called Žiželice next to the old village and renamed the old village Končice. From the 14th century, the estate was owned by the Rosenberg family. Peter I of Rosenberg had demolished the old wooden church in 1347 and had built a new one. During the Hussite Wars in 1425, the village was burned down, but soon was restored. At the end of the Thirty Years' War, Žiželice was again burned down.{{cite web |title=Historie|url=https://www.zizelice.cz/obec/historie/|publisher=Obec Žiželice|language=cs|access-date=2023-03-23}}
In the 19th century, the railway was built and Žiželice was industrialized. There used to be a sugar factory and a textile factory.
