History
The first written mention of Jalubí is in a deed of bishop Bruno von Schauenburg from 1265. From 1265 to 1546, the village was owned by the monastery in Velehrad. In 1547, Jalubí was acquired by the Zierotin family. From 1621, the village was again a property of the Velehrad Monastery. In the early 18th century, the village became known for its pottery, and its products were sold outside the region.[2]

Sights

The main landmark of Jalubí is the Church of Saint John the Baptist. It was built in the late Baroque style, probably in 1763 (consecrated in 1764). It has been preserved without further modification to this day. The interior contains valuable furniture and decotration from the 18th century that was the work of prominent artists, including painter Ignác Raab.[5]
A tourist attraction is a replica of a windmill. It was built in 2007–2009 and stands on the site of a mill destroyed by a bomb at the end of World War II.[6]
