history

The first documentary mention of Kostelec took place in 1318. In the years 1341 to 1342 the village Kostelec Super Multavia was listed as the property of the Benedictine monastery Břevnov next to Zahrádka, Jickovice, Radvánov and other villages . The Benedictines built a church on the hill behind the village, from which the current name is derived. In addition, the order founded a provost office in Kostelec. In 1406 Andreas Huller acquired the village of Kostelec from Mareš, Jaroslav Litolt and Aleš from Lichtenburg on Bítov and connected it to his rule Worlik . During the Hussite Wars, the monastic properties in Kostelec became extinct and the property became subject to Klingenberg in its entirety . Wenzel Zmrzlík von Schweißing pledged Kostelec and other villages to Christoph von Schwanberg in 1514 . In 1534, he peculiarly acquired the entire Worlik domain. After the Battle of White Mountain , the estate of Peter von Schwanberg was confiscated and in 1621 the Eggenberg owners of the Worlik domain . The Kostelec parish expired in 1623 and was slammed into Kovářov . After the male line of Eggenberg died out in 1717, the Schwarzenberg family inherited their property. The hospital was founded on January 1, 1762 at the instigation of Prince Joseph zu Schwarzenberg by the pastor Johann Adam Swoboda, who also had the rectory and school built on the Kirchberg. In 1837 the village of Kosteletz , located on a hill near the large ponds Sylvester, Woprawa and Sobik, consisted of 40 houses with 213 inhabitants. The parish church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, the parish and school were under stately patronage, and there was also a hospital. To the north was a hunter's house ( Hanslovka ).

After the abolition of patrimonial Kostelec formed from 1850 with the district Kostelecké Břehy a municipality in the district administration Písek and the judicial district Mirovice.

In 1921 Kostelec consisted of 61 houses and had 414 inhabitants. Since 1924 the municipality has been using the official name Kostelec nad Vltavou to distinguish it from other communities of the same name . In 1930 411 people lived in the 74 houses in the village. The villages Kostelecké Břehy, Sobědražské Břehy and Žďákov u Starého Sedla in the Vltava Valley were dissolved in 1957 during the construction of the Orlík Dam and later flooded.
