This small village was founded probably on break of 12th and 13th century, during colonization. Everything, you can see today, is a  village type of ground-plan preserved in rough forms, from past untill now. First written preserved notices come of 1352. At that time,  local parish church is reminded. The village belonged to thane parentage of Kamýk-Pokratice. Shortly afterthat, the dominion was handed over to Litoměřice Provost, and its possewssion was later, with some

pauses, for further centuries. In 1655 Litoměřice Provost was changed into Episcopate and all estates formed a foundation of Bishop´s estates. Since that time, Zubrnice belonged to Litoměřice Episcopate, as a part of  estates Třeboutice-Křešěice, until end of patrimonial institution (i.e. till 1848). In 1970, there was established a skansen here. The base for this was formed with local valuable houses and objects of surroundings. Further buildings are added

continuously. Other place of interest of the village is railway museum. You find here the greatest collection of historical trolleys, steam as well as motor machines. You can even try to go along with it. Zubrnice village became, owing to its rich collection of people´s architecture, very popular locality for presentation of traditional markets. The village was famous with shooting a film „The Rebels“ of Philippe Renč.
