history

Bessenitz was first mentioned in 1395 when Heinrich III. von Rosenberg gave Besenicze to the parish church of St. Veit in Krumau , whose property it belonged to until the abolition of patrimonial rule in 1848. The St. Prokop Church was built in 1786 and a school opened in the same year, which was given a new building in 1833. From 1850 the place was part of the Schweinitz judicial district , which later became part of the Budweis district . In 1910 Bessenitz was elevated to a market town and the recording of the community chronicle began. Granite and brick processing were of economic importance.

After the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918, Bessenitz received the official Czech place name Besednice . After the Munich Agreement, Besednice remained with Czechoslovakia and from 1939 to 1945 belonged to the Budweis political district in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia .

As a result of the Second World War, the German population was expelled in 1946 . After the political upheaval of 1989, measures were taken to improve the infrastructure. In 1995, the 600th anniversary was celebrated. In the same year Besednice won the third place in the competition “The most beautiful village in South Bohemia” and the award “The blue ribbon”. On October 10, 2006, it was given back the status of Městys .
