history

The village was originally called Heinrichow . It was probably built before 1250 together with the Heinrichsau Monastery, which was formerly located in the Elbe Valley between Klášterská Lhota and Dobrá Mysl, as the foundation of the Opatowitz Benedictine monastery . In addition to Heinrichow , the monastery owned the villages Kunčice, Slemeno, Přední Ždírnice and Zadní Ždírnice, which were combined to form the Wrchlab provost . The cultivation of the goods located in the border forests was not very profitable, so that the monastery fell into disrepair and the monks ran away. In 1348, the new Opatowitz abbot Jan Neplach put an end to the disorder in the cella sancta Maria in Albea seu Vorchlab olim Heynrichs , which was managed by only seven brothers and the provost, and at the same time prohibited the brothers from leaving the monastery without the provost's permission. In 1372 the monastery property was expanded to include the village of Kalná and in 1381 Čistá was also bought. At the beginning of the Hussite Wars , the Wrchlab Propstei went out. The monastery was probably destroyed as early as 1421 by the owners of the neighboring Arnau lordship , the brothers Johann and Hynek Kruschina von Lichtenburg , older sources indicate that it was destroyed by Jan Žižka in 1424. Since the mother monastery was also destroyed during this time, the Heinrichsau monastery was never rebuilt.

In 1436 Hynek Kruschina von Lichtenburg received the goods of the extinct Provosty Wrchlab, including Lhota as a pledge. This pledge was transferred to the brothers Hynek and Jindřich von Waldstein in 1466 , who attached it to their rule in Štěpanice . After the transfer of the manor, Lhota belonged to the Horní Branná manor . In the first half of the 16th century the village was desolate and was called wes lhotta pusta in 1515 and klasstercze pustay blize Hostinneho in 1523 . Following his re-colonization of the site in 1587 was Minxdörffel , 1601 Münichsdörfle , 1633 Monastery Lhota and 1655 Münchsdörffl called. The residents initially lived from mountain agriculture, but home weaving was added as a secondary source of income from the middle of the 17th century. At that time the population consisted of about half of Germans and Czechs. After the unification of the lordships Horní Branná and Jilemnice in 1701 , Münchsdörffl was subordinate to Jilemnice. In 1716 the place was referred to as Müngsdorff , later as Möndisdorf / Klášterská Lhota . From 1791 school lessons were held in a private house under the patronage of the Čistá estate. In 1834 Mönchsdorf / Klášterská Lhota consisted of 67 houses and had 442 inhabitants. Most of the village was an exclave of the Jilemnice / Starkenbach dominion. Nine houses with 87 inhabitants were subject to the Hohenelbe lordship and one house with three inhabitants to the Tschista estate. A mill was operated on the Elbe.

After the abolition of patrimonial Mönchsdorf / Klášterská Lhota formed from 1850 a municipality in the judicial district of Arnau or in the Hohenelbe district . Alternatively, the Czech name Klášterec was used until 1921 . With the emergence of industrialization, which did not reach the small village in the Elbe valley, home weaving ceased in the 19th century. Some of the residents earned their living by wage labor in the flax yarn spinning mills in Arnau and Proschwitz . In 1869 a school was built, which had to be expanded in 1887. The railway between Pelsdorf and Trautenau was built between 1868 and 1869 and started operating in 1870. In 1870 the mill was converted into a wood grinding shop for the Elbmühle in Arnau. In the course of the 19th century the village had become German-speaking. The volunteer fire brigade was formed in 1893. In 1909 a local group of the Federation of Germans was established. In 1930 the community had 386 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 398. As a result of the Munich Agreement , Mönchsdorf was annexed to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Hohenelbe district until 1945 . After the Second World War, the place came back to Czechoslovakia and the German population was expelled. Most of the new Czech residents came from neighboring Kalná or were conscripts who previously had to work in the wood cutting shops around Lázně Bělohrad . After the cancellation of the Okres Vrchlabí Klášterská Lhota was assigned to the Okres Trutnov at the beginning of 1961.
