history
The first written mention of the parish and the village of Knínice can be found in two documents from 1097 and 1200, which have proven to be medieval forgeries. The St. The parish church, consecrated to Margaret, was built on the remains of an old Slavonic fort. The deed of donation from Margrave Břetislav to the Hradisko monastery from the beginning of the 13th century for the farm and the market village of Knínice and other surrounding villages is also a forgery. In 1250 Wenceslas I confirmed ownership of the monastery. Knínice was first designated as a town in 1279 in the border document between the Knínice and Konice estates. The Knínice Church was the only parish church on the Hradisko Monastery property throughout the Middle Ages. Probably already in the 13th century a provost's office was established in Knínice. In 1284 Knínice was given the right to fortify it, and a light palisade was probably built. King Wladislaw Jagiello pledged the Knínice provost with the towns of Knínice and Svitávka and the villages of Světlá , Cetkovice , Šebetov , Uhřice , Kořenec , Úsobrno and Okrouhlá to his advisor Ladislav von Boskowitz in 1499 . This established a manorial estate in Knínice and added other villages to it. Later the rule came back to the Hradisch Monastery. In the course of the 16th century, Šebetov was expanded to become a new mansion and the order had a large castle built there as a residence. The oldest local seal dates from 1646. In the course of time the town was called Kněnice , Kníhnice and Knihnice . After the abolition of the monastery in the course of the Josephine reforms, its goods fell to the religious fund in 1784. In 1825 Karl Graf Strachwitz bought the Šebetov estate. His son Moritz Graf Strachwitz inherited the property in 1837.
After the abolition of patrimonial Kníhnice / Knihnitz formed from 1850 a market town in the district authority Boskovice . Between 1860 and 1865 the Karl Octavius estates belonged to Lippe-Weißenfeld . In 1865 the Counts of Strachwitz briefly became the owners of the Šebetov estates again. In the course of foreclosure in the same year, the Viennese factory owner Johann May bought the property, which he sold to Moritz von Königswarter in 1877 . From 1923 the place bears the official name Knínice u Boskovic . At the beginning of 1961 Knínice u Boskovic was assigned to the Okres Blansko . Since June 22, 2007 Knínice u Boskovic has again the status of Městys. The official place name was changed back to Knínice in 2015.
