Šumperk was founded in the 13th century as the administrative centre of a region, where precious metals were mined. Its economic strength gradually started to depend on crafts, especially textile production. The town was a royal property, which was often pawned to leading aristocratic lineages. It became a seat of the Žerotín lineage in the 16th century. It was seized by the Liechtenstein lineage in the 17th century, it experienced the terrors of the Thirty Year War, it was burnt down by a fire in 1669 and it suffered the horrors of witch hunts ten years after that with a death toll of 25 townspeople. The textile industry brought a great economic boom to the town in the 19th century. The modern appearance of the town is the merit of leading Viennese architects, whose works can be found in various parts of the town. The town was called Little Vienna back then because of its architectural similarity with the Austrian capital. After WWII, all German inhabitants of the town, which formed the great majority of all inhabitants of the town, were forcibly expelled from the town. After a short stagnation, the town continued to develop and today it has 28 thousands inhabitants, which is almost two times more than in 1938.
The expensive reconstructions of monuments, residential houses and streets significantly changed the historical part of Šumperk in recent years and the town life has been blooming ever since. Šumperk is once again beautiful. One of the most important historical monuments is the former monastic Church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary. Its total reconstruction took place in 1990 - 2005 and it is now the pride of the town. The most important monuments also include the so-called Geschader House, the Church of St. John the Baptist, the little Church of St. Barbora and remnants of the town fortification walls.
