Obecní úřad Šilheřovice.
The first written report about the village Šilheřovice is a document from 1377 on the distribution of the property of Opava Duke Nicholas II. between his four sons. The village became the seat of the estate, to which belonged villages Antošovice, Darkovice, Hať, Koblov and Markvartovice. In the 16th and early 17th centuries, the owners of the estate were Bírková of Násil, Stošová of Kounice, Rotmberks of Ketra and Count Šliková. In 1647, Barbora Perpetua, Countess of Ursenburg, sold the Šilheř estate to the Jesuit College in Opava.
The efforts of the Jesuits were crowned in 1713 by the construction of a Baroque church in Šilheřovice. After the abolition of the Jesuit order, Šilheřovice was acquired by the Eichendorffs, who built a chateau in a romantic historicist style on the site of the defunct fortress, and later, since 1846, by the Rothschilds who connected the Šilheřovice estate with Hlučín and Hošťálkovice. The school was mentioned in the village as early as 1662, but the school's own school building was not acquired until 1904, and the new building in 1951.
Šilheřovice were found in the Rothschild estate until 1938. After World War I, on the basis of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, the Hlučín region was taken over by the Czechoslovak authorities.
