Velké Losiny (German: Groß Ullersdorf) is a spa municipality and village in Šumperk District in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,600 inhabitants. Built from 1581–1589 on the site of an earlier Gothic fortress by Jan the Younger of Zierotin, the château and its estates remained in the possession of the ancient Moravian dynasty of House of Zierotin for more than 300 years. The château consists of three wings overlooking the courtyard with three floors of arcade galleries and is crowned by a narrow octagonal tower. Although Jan was infamous for his ruthlessness towards his subjects, bullying them into working using methods that were exceptionally cruel even for those days, his descendant Přemek II was worse; in 1662 he had the three ringleaders of a peasant rebellion beheaded.
