History

The village of Křečkovice is first mentioned in 1388, when a fiefdom belonging to a certain Vilém is mentioned for the first time. From the 14th century, Křečkovice belonged to the Bishopric of Olomouc. From 1609, there was a parish church in the village, which disappeared during the Thirty Years' War. In 1700, the inhabitants of Křečkovice clashed with the inhabitants of Brňany over the disputed grove of Březina.

Originally its own municipality, Křečkovice became part of Vyškov in 1950.[3]
