The first written mention of the village took place in 1243 as the possession of the Vladiken Přech von Čestice. At the beginning of the 17th century, the Vladiken family died out in the male line. The owners of Čestice were the Knights of Malowetz . After the battle of the White Mountain , the goods of Johann von Malowetz were confiscated and Čestitz was sold to Jakob Graf Kießel in 1628. The widow Sophie Güteríčanský von Říčan, née Borinka, who sold her to Karl Sebastian Říčanský in 1703, was also the owner of the combined estates of Čestitz and Dřesinko. Nikolaus Malowetz von Cheynow and Winterberg acquired the goods from him in 1745, followed by his eldest son Joseph in 1755 and, from 1789, his son Johann Ernst.
