history
The first documentary mention of Kaliště took place in 1318 in a property register of the chapter Vyšehrad under the name Senfeld . Later in the place was as Sonweld , Schonfeld , Sonfeld and Schoenfeld called. After the destruction of the Vyšehrad chapter by the Hussites in 1420, the later emperor Sigismund became the owner of the place before he pawned it in 1436 to Nikolaus Trčka von Lípa . Kaliště became part of the Lipnice estate and was sold to the Světlá estate in 1561 . In 1698 Johann Joachim von Harrach acquired the place from Johann Bartolomäus von Vernier. As a result, Kaliště was detached from the Světlá rule and formed its own manor. Count Harrach had a castle built as their seat. 1707 bought Johann Leopold Donatus von Trautson and Falkenstein Kalischt together with the places Zahrádka and Horní Paseka and struck the villages of his rule Dolní Kralovice . In 1787 the parish office was established in Kaliště. In the same year, the one-class village school, which was housed in a separate building next to the church, began teaching. In 1880 the wine distillery on the estate, to whose previous owners the grandfather of Gustav Mahler , Šimon Mahler, also belonged, was shut down and converted into a distillery.
In the 18th century the castle was the seat of the estate administration. However, it gradually fell into disrepair, so it was abandoned in 1801. After the replacement of the patrimonial in the Austrian Empire Kaliště in 1850 for independent community and including the associated monolayer U Malku, latino and Staré Hutě part of the district of Humpolec (Gumpolds). Since then, the landowners have changed several times. In 1937 Kristýna Filípková bought the estate; however, in 1948 it was nationalized.
The village of Kaliště is the birthplace of the composer and conductor Gustav Mahler, who was born here on July 7, 1860 to a Jewish family. In the 1930s the house where the composer was born burned down on the outskirts, but has recently been restored by the Czech Gustav Mahler Society ( Společnost Gustava Mahlera MAHLER 2000 ). The house houses a permanent exhibition with the theme "Mahler and Bohemia" ( Mahler a Čechy ).
In 1928 Kaliště was transformed into a model village of the district ( okres ) Humpolec and the entire development of the village square was demolished and rebuilt.
In accordance with the policy of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia , a single agricultural cooperative was founded in 1957 , which in the following years had the old buildings of the manor including the baroque palace chapel torn down. In 1986 the school closed due to insufficient student numbers. In 1993 the cooperative dissolved again.
