history

The first written mention of the village came in 1267 in connection with a Chotěboř from Jimlín. One of his descendants, Záviš von Jimlín, was in the service of John of Luxembourg and fought in the Battle of Crécy in 1346 . The Vladimir family of Jimlín died out in 1453 and the inheritance fell to Albrecht Bezdružický von Kolowrat , who united the goods with Opočno . Since the coming of the 14th century fortress was no longer habitable, the festivals Opočno served as a stately seat. Between 1465 and 1474 Albrecht built by Kolowrat in place of the old festivals, the castle Nový Hrad ( Neuschloß ) as a representative manor. A large fish pond was created at the foot of the castle. This pond broke several times in the 16th century and because of the resulting flooding in the Saaz suburb, there were legal disputes between the Council of Louny and the Lords of Novohradsky-Kolowrat. Wolf Nowohradsky-Kolowrat sold the rule to Johann the Elder in 1573. Ä. Booger from Lobkowitz . Other owners were u. a. Václav Franěk von Liběchov , the Vřesovec von Vresovice, Johann von Aldringen and the Strahov Premonstratensian Monastery . During this time the castle was gradually transformed into a renaissance castle. During the Thirty Years' War the castle was plundered several times, already when Albrecht von Waldstein besieged Louny , subjects stormed the castle and seized the supplies. The Premonstratensians sold the devastated rule to Christian Wilhelm von Brandenburg . Subsequently, the rule belonged to Gustav Adolph von Varrensbach , Anna von Löwenegg and, from 1767, the Prince of Schwarzenberg . With this, the castle lost its function as a manor house and served as an administrative center, military hospital, barracks and ultimately as a farm. Jimlín was parish after Opočno . The place was on the Czech-German language border and had 340 inhabitants in 1828.

After the abolition of patrimonial Jimlín / Imling formed a community in the Postelberg district from 1850 . From the 1860s the municipality was named Spojená obec Jimlín, Opočno a Nové Hrady / localities Opočno, Neuschloß and Imling . In 1869, the municipality in Prague unsuccessfully applied for a transfer to the Launer judicial and political district. After the political district of Postelberg was dissolved, it was assigned to the Saaz district and remained with the judicial district of Postelberg. On September 24, 1904, train traffic on the Rakovník – Louny railway was started by the Rakonitz – Laun railway . From 1921 the mixed-language village of Opočno formed its own political municipality. In the census carried out in the same year, 706 people lived in Jimlín, including the Nový Hrad district, who belonged exclusively to the Czech ethnic group. In 1930 there were 784 people in Jimlín. After the Munich Agreement, the place remained in 1938 with Czechoslovakia and was attached to the Okres Louny. At the beginning of 1961 Opočno and Zeměchy were incorporated. In 1981 the Jimlín came to Hřivice as a district . In November 1990 the community was re-established. At the beginning of the 21st century, the renovation and restoration of the ruined castle began.
