The first written mention of Čekanice took place in 1274. The village was the seat of the Vladiken von Čekanice.
Later owners of the estate were among others from 1653 Salomena von Eyberg and Komarow and from 1660 Karl de Rosau von Palesam, who united the estates Čekanice and Lažany . In 1668 Katharina Enis, née Vitanovská von Vlčkovice, bought both goods, which she sold in 1673 to Marina Katherina Enis, née Častolár von Langendorf. Franz Ritter Enis von Atter and Iveaghe acquired the property around 1680, and was followed by his son Heinrich in 1695. After his death there was a division of property between his two sons; Wilhelm Enis received Čekanice, his brother Ernst got Lažany. From the licensing of the property of Wilhelm Enis von Atter and Iveaghe, Johann Nepomuk Georg Olivier Helversen von Helversheim and his wife Anna Polexina, née Strogetetzky von Strogetitz, acquired the Čekanice estate in 1756. The following owners were Johann Georg Helversen von Helversheim, then his son Joseph Dionys and from 1833 his son Wenzel.
In 1837 the Čekanitz estate comprised a usable area of 929 yoke 1346 square fathoms, including eleven ponds. Only the village of the same name belonged to the estate. The village of Čekanitz , southwest of Fischerstrasse, consisted of 39 houses with 323 Czech-speaking residents, including two Israelite families . In the village there was a stately castle with the administrator's apartment, a brewery, a Meierhof, a potash factory and a forge. Aside from that, there was a sheep farm, a mill and the Na Skaliče dish . The parish was Sedlitz .
