history
Křepenice first opened in 1045 in a document of Bohemian princes Břetislav I mentioned. It initially belonged to Vrškamýk . In 1322 King John of Luxembourg gave Křepenice to Hermann von Milíčín, from whom it came to the Rosenbergs in 1352 , who connected it with their lordship Sedlčany . In 1580 Wilhelm von Rosenberg left Sedlčany and Křepenice to his economic manager and dike builder Jakob Krčín von Jelčany . He put on the ponds Návesník and Nepřízeň and built a castle in 1584, which he called "Nový Hrádek Krčínov" and where he lived from 1590–1597. After he died in 1604 without male heirs, Křepenice fell together with the Sedlčany lordship to Peter Wok von Rosenberg , who sold it to Zdenko Adalbert Popel von Lobkowitz . He joined Křepenice to his rule Vysoký Chlumec . Other owners were the princes Schwarzenberg and from 1933 Rudolf Chodounský. In 1941 the castle was confiscated by the National Socialists , who set up a concentration camp north of Křepenice . After the communists took power in 1948, the land was transferred to the socialist agricultural enterprise Jednotné zemědělské družstvo . After the political change in 1989 the castle was returned to the Chodounský family.
