Geography
Heraltice is located about 10 kilometres (6 mi) west of Třebíč and 21 km (13 mi) southeast of Jihlava.

History
The first written mention of Heraltice is from 1256. It was founded at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries as a market village on the Prague–Vienna trade route. Soon it became a market town, but in 1468, it was looted and burned down by the army of Matthias Corvinus and became only a village. Even so, the village remained an economic and cultural centre. There was a fortress here, but it was dismantled after 1790.[2]
