The first written record comes from 1318 when the village belonged to the Dalibor of Bitozeves (Dalibor z Bitozevsi) . The fortress is first mentioned in 1405 when it was bought by the crusaders from Jindřich z Telče . At the beginning of the 15th century the village belonged to the von Laun ( Louny ) family. In 1436 Emperor Sigismund pawned the village to Jindřich Buškov z Hluban . There were regular changes of ownership until 1506 Jan Hruška z Března Bitozeves bought. His family held the place for over a hundred years. Because of the participation in the uprising, the farm was confiscated and in 1623 sold to Adam Graf von Herbersdorf . He ceded it in 1630 to Pavel Michna von Vacínov , Lord of Postoloprty , who held it until 1920.
After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Reich and belonged to the Saaz district until 1945 .
