The first written mention about this village comes from 1349 – the village had been connected with Dolní Benešov. In 1527 the village was bought by brothers Jan and Vavřinec from Drahotuše. Archaeological finding had been practised three times here – mostly in the area of the medieval castle. Ceramic crocks from the 14th and 15th centuries were found here.
