Králíky consists of 11 municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):[2] The similarity of the town's name with the modern Czech word králík (i.e. 'rabbit') is accidental.

It is a record preserved in the country's tables of law, by which King Charles IV presented the castle of Žampach and the mountains belonging to it to Čeněk of Potštejn.

Except the manor house, vicarage and Protestant oratory (today's Church of Saint Michael the Archangel), he had the square built into today's shape and on his request Emperor Rudolf II granted the town a privilege to hold three annual fairs.

[4] Near the curative springs above the town, Bishop Tobias Johannes Becker, a local native, had a monumental pilgrimage complex built in 1696–1710.

Wood carving began to develop, and Christmas cribs and wooden characters that have found their way all over the world are reminders of this.

Weaving played an important role in the originating of a textile tradition, and Králíky canvas was successfully sold all over the country.

After Kłodzko Land was surrendered to Prussia, many of its inhabitants moved to Králíky and the town began to grow.

[9] The historic centre of Králíky contains preserved burgher houses and the Church of Saint Michael the Archangel.

[10] The church was originally a late Renaissance Protestant oratory from around 1577, which was damaged by fires and rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Many remains of the Czechoslovak fortification system from the period 1935–1938 are open to the public, including Hůrka artillery fortress and U Cihelny infantry cabin.
