history
Segun was first mentioned in a document in 1137 when the church of St. Gotthard through the Opatowitz monastery . In 1361 the monastery sold the place. This was followed by a festival. Hermann von Choustník became the owner of the village in 1380 and the Žehuně family can be traced back to the end of the 14th century. Between 1493 and 1499 Žehuň was attached to the Hradišťko rule. During this time, the feast, which for a long time was assumed to have stood on the site of the rectory, also went out. In 1953 during the renovation work on the Zehuner pond by the archaeologist Antonín Hejna on the drained ground, the location of the fortress could be determined. It was located a mile north of the village and is now in the pond.
After the Cidlina had been dammed by Štěpán Netolický for Vladislav II between 1492 and 1497 to form the Royal Zehuner fish pond, the place was located directly on the dam. In the 16th century, Žehuň became part of the Chlumetz estate . By Jakub Krčín the end of the 16th century were made of the pool of major repairs. In 1562 Archduke Ferdinand had an enclosure for mares and foals built by the pond. In 1629 Johann Octavian Graf Kinsky acquired the Chlumetz rule and the royal pond. In the berní rula of 1654, nine peasant positions, seven tenants and one kötter are shown for ten; six properties lay desolate. In the course of its history the village was mentioned as Zyhun , Zychun , Zahuna , Ziehunie , Ziehaun , Zehun , Žehunie , Žegúň , Segun , Žehauň , Žehúň and Schehun .
After the abolition of patrimonial Žehuň formed with the districts Báň , Stará Báň and Mírkovice from 1850 a municipality in the Poděbrady district . In 1870, the Groß Wossek - Wostromer railway started operating on the opposite bank of the Cidlina .
