Veselíčko (German: Klein Wesseln) is a village and municipal part of Žďár nad Sázavou in Žďár nad Sázavou District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 200 inhabitants. It is located in the eastern part of the town's territory.
History
The first mention of the locality dates from the 17th century, when a manorial farm was established there under the supervision of Abbot Václav Vejmluva. The manorial farm was at the time colloquially referred to as Samotín (lit. 'lonely place').[2]
In 1788, the manorial farm was parcelled into 25 smallholdings and the village Veselíčko was founded. Just a year later it received its official municipal seal.[2]
In 1889, a major fire destroyed 25 houses and a local simple bell tower. A year later, during the reconstruction, the Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul was built as a replacement.[2]
From 1850 to 1905, Veselíčko was administered as a municipal part of Slavkovice (today part of Nové Město na Moravě). In 1906, it became an independent municipality. Since 1980, it has been a municipal part of the town Žďár nad Sázavou.[2]
