history
Archaeological finds in the area of the municipality can be dated to the Neolithic Age.
The village was first mentioned in writing in 1101 when Ulrich von Brno and Lutold von Znojmo left Ketkovice along with other villages to the Benedictine order as the basis for the establishment of the Assumption Monastery in Třebíč . In 1225 the Cistercian convent Vallis sanctae Mariae in Oslavany became the owner of Ketkovice in the course of an exchange of goods. In the middle of the 13th century, the Knights Templar acquired the village and gave it to his commander Jamolice , and later to the Tempelstein Castle . The Templars had the Church of St. Build Catherine. Levnov Castle was probably built around this time. After the destruction of the Knights Templar, from 1346 the lords of Leipa can be traced as the owners of Ketkovice, who attached the goods to the Krumlov rule . The Lewnow family has been named owners of the castle since 1358. It is assumed that the surrounding villages Čučice, Ketkovice, Sudice and Rapotice, which were previously subject to the Templars, also belonged to the castle rule. After the Lewnow family died out, the castle also fell to the lords of Leipa. Around 1480, Berchtold von Leipa pledged the town of Eibenschitz , the Rauchowan and the villages of Leipertitz , Herzmanitz , Ketkowitz, Czuczitz and Rapotitz as well as the ruins of the desert Rapstein Castle to Wilhelm II of Pernstein . The deposit was released again later. After the Battle of White Mountain in 1621, the goods of Bertold / Pertold von Leipa, who was a leader of the Moravian estates, were confiscated. In 1624 Gundaker von Liechtenstein bought the rule. In 1797 a village school was set up in a chalet in Ketkovice with the support of Liechtenstein residents. Ketkovice remained subservient to Krumlov until the middle of the 19th century.
After the abolition of patrimonial Ketkovice formed from 1850 a district of the municipality Čučice in the district administration Třebíč . At this time, coal mining in the neighboring Rossitz-Oslawan Basin enjoyed a great boom. This also affected Ketkovice; Some of the inhabitants of the previously purely rural village earned their living as miners in the coal mines or worked in the Oslavany sugar factory. In the 1880s, Ketkovice broke away from Čučice and formed its own municipality. In 1885, the Střelice – Okříšky railway started operating north of the village . The road to Oslavany was built in 1890. In 1907 the Ketkovský Mlýn got a road connection. The mill, located below the Levnov ruins, has been owned by the Vydra millers for generations. Several family members were also self-taught painters, the most famous of whom was Bohumil Vydra. In the 1920s the Vydra family built a trampoline settlement next to the mill. In 1930 the miller Vydra bought an old iron bridge and built it above the mill as a crossing over the Oslava. In 1922 the road to Lukovany was built.
Between 1949 and 1960 Ketkovice belonged to Okres Rosice and after its dissolution at the beginning of 1961 to Okres Brno-venkov . Between 1986 and 1990 Ketkovice was incorporated into Oslavany . In the 1990s, the Czechoslovak army gave up the position on Ketkovický kopec. Ketkovice has had a coat of arms and a banner since 1996. The defense ministry put the barracks up for sale in 2008.
