history
The first written mention of Bratronice was in 1227 as the property of the St. George Monastery at Prague Castle . In the 14th century a Vladikensitz was built , the first recorded owner of which was Mikuláš from Bratronice in 1361. He was followed by Čeněk von Bratronice, Bedřich von Bratronice and his widow Kateřina. This sold the estate in 1397 to Mikuláš von Kestřany. In 1433 the estate belonged to Beneš from Bratronice, and from 1457 to Jan von Bratronice. Other owners were Smil von Sedlice between 1509 and 1517, then Hynek Radkovec von Mirovice and his son Petr. Around 1576, the captain of the old Bohemian district of Prachin, Johann d. Ä. Hořitzky von Prosty, who was also the owner of the Zaboř , Pole, Kadow and Bezdiekau estates , Bratronice and Jindřichovice for 4,500 Schock Meissen groschen. In 1586 he also bought from Strakonitzer Grand Prior Christoph the Elder. Ä. von Wartenberg bought the uneconomical little Katowsko estate for 775 shock Bohemian groschen and united it with Bratronitz. In 1603 he had the fortress Bratronice redesigned into a renaissance castle and new farm buildings built. 1616 inherited his daughter Salomena and her husband Adam d. Ä. Wratislaw von Mitrowitz († 1624), who was also lord of Pořitz, Miressow and Mirotitz , owned the property.
With the death of Margarethe Barbara Countess Lažanska, née Wratislaw von Mitrowitz, their goods Bratronitz and Katowsko passed in 1684 to the Counts Lažansky von Buggau ( Lažanští z Bukové ). Under Ferdinand Lažansky von Buggau, the estate was briefly associated with the Manětín rule . Adam Graf Lažansky von Buggau auf Bratronitz, Mladiegowitz and Wosek († 1737) belonged to the other owners . The epitaphs of Adam Wratislaw von Mitrowitz, Barbara Lažanska and Adam Lažansky are in the crypt of the church in Záboří. After Adam Lažansky's death in 1739 the property fell to his creditors. Around 1750 the Imperial and Royal District Administrator Christian Joseph Paulin Freiherr von Gfäßer acquired the estate. From him in 1800 his sons Christian Anton and Johann Jacob inherited it in equal parts. The first bought out his brother's share in 1805 and became the sole owner. The barons Gfäßer expanded the estate to include the villages of Třebohostice, Nahošín and Čečelovice. On August 10, 1831, Christian Anton Freiherr Gfäßer's nephew Joseph Talazko von Gestetitz inherited the estate. He was made a knight of Saint Wenceslas in 1835 at Ferdinand V's coronation celebrations in Prague.
In 1840 the estate had a usable area of 2265 fathoms, 1251 square yokes. It included the villages of Bratronitz, Gindřichowitz ( Jindřichovice ), Katowsko ( Katovsko ) and Střebohostitz as well as eight houses from Čečelowitz and one house from Nahoschin ( Nahošín ) with a total of 656 Czech-speaking residents, including three Israelite families . The estate ran three farms in Bratronitz, Roschitz and Katowsko as well as a sheep farm near Bratronitz. The village of Bratronitz consisted of 37 houses with 248 inhabitants, including three Israelite families. In the place there was a stately castle with the public castle chapel of St. Josef and the administrator's apartment as well as a Meierhof, a brewery, a spirits house, a potash boiler and an inn. The sheep farm Chvalov ( Chvalov ), the Podtrawnik mill and the Likowka mill were situated on the side. The parish was Zaboř, and a chaplain was employed by the castle chapel and he read mass every day. Until the middle of the 19th century, Bratronitz always remained the official village of the Bratronitz estate.
After the abolition of patrimonial formed Bratronice / Bratronitz 1850 with the hamlet Kátovsko / Katowsko a municipality in the district administration and the judicial district Blatná. In 1864 Joseph Talazko, who remained unmarried and without descendants, bequeathed the estate to his nephew Josef Battaglia de Sopramonte, from whom his son Quido Battaglia inherited it in 1891. In 1945 the Battaglia family was expropriated. In 1957 an agricultural cooperative was established . After the Okres Blatná was abolished, the municipality was assigned to the Okres Strakonice in 1960. In 1961 Bratronice was incorporated into Záboří . After a referendum, Bratronice and Katovsko broke up on November 24, 1990 and formed their own municipality.
