history

The first written mention of the Čilec Fortress took place in 1398 as the seat of Vladiken Jan von Čilec, who can be traced back to 1408. Between 1418 and 1440 the Naček of Čilec owned the fortress. After that, the lords of Kunwald at Dražice Castle became the owners of the village. Bohuslav von Kunwald donated Čilec in 1450 to the hospital he founded in New Benatek . Together with the Dražice rule, the village subsequently passed to Hynko Borsito von Martinic and in 1512 to Friedrich von Dohna († 1547) on Mydlovar . In 1526, he moved the manor from Dražice to Benatek . In 1599 Rudolf II bought the rule from the Burgraves of Dohna. Emperor Ferdinand III. sold the chamber lordship to his general Johann von Werth in 1647 . The village was devastated by the war and in the berní rula in 1654 only two farmers and two kötter are reported for Čilec. The festival was also extinguished.

In 1787 the village consisted of 21 houses and had 147 residents. By 1835 the number of houses had grown to 27 and 176 people lived in them. Until the abolition of patrimonial Čilec remained part of the Benatek rule. From 1850 Čilec formed a district of the political municipality Dvory in the Poděbrady district .

At the end of the 19th century, the Counts of Thun and Hohenstein sold the Benatek goods to the Imperial and Royal Austrian Länderbank . In 1880 Čilec had 312 inhabitants and in 1900 there were 313. In 1898 the bank separated the Zdonín manor and sold it. In 1907 the municipality of Čilec was established. The Čilec manor, to which the farms in Kačerov and Zbožíčko were also attached, employed 100 workers in 1908. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Länderbank sold the Benateker estates with the farms Kačerov, Šibice, Kostomlaty nad Labem and Kamenné Zboží to Ferdinand Count Kinsky on Lysá nad Labem . In 1924 Kinsky leased the goods to the Beniš company in Litol. In the course of the land reforms in 1925, parts of the large estate were parceled out. The Čilec farm is left with 149 hectares of arable land. In 1934 the community came to Okres Nymburk . In the course of the repopulation of the Sudetenland after the Odsun , 73 residents left the village and moved to the border areas.

In 1968 the Red Army occupied the nearby military training area Milovice and the Boží Dar airfield, including the "Na Bejkovce" military post near Čilec. Until the withdrawal of the Soviets in 1991, the village was in the approach area for supersonic aircraft . Between 1980 and 1991 Čilec was incorporated into Straky. Čilec today consists of 106 houses.
