Žerotín lies approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) north of Olomouc and 203 km (126 mi) east of Prague.

The first written mention of Žerotín is in a deed of bishop Jindřich Zdík from 1141.

Its history is connected with the noble Zierotin family that got its name from the village.

The next 300 years it was owned by the Augustinian monastery in Šternberk.
