history

Kostelec was first mentioned in writing in 1131 in a document from the Olomouc bishop Heinrich Zdik as property of the church in Spytihněv . Later Kostelec became part of the episcopal estate. Bishop Bruno von Schauenburg introduced the feudal system for the episcopal estates in the second half of the 13th century and handed Kostelec to the brothers Frank and Albert Stockfisch as a fief. The festival, which also had jurisdiction, probably existed as early as the 14th century. However, it was first mentioned in 1552 when the Stolbašský von Doloplazy were enfeoffed with Kostelec. In the course of time, the owners of the feudal property changed frequently. In 1637 Anton Görtz von Asten was entrusted with Kostelec. After his death the feudal court awarded Kroměříž Kostelec on January 23, 1639 to his nephew Siegmund. The incursion of Stephan Bocskai's troops into Moravia, the cholera epidemic of 1605 and the Thirty Years War with the subsequent expulsion of the Protestants left Kostelec deserted. In 1654 only 14 Podseken sites were cultivated, another ten and all five farms lay idle. As the seat of the Görtz family, the fortress was probably devastated during the Bocskai invasion or the siege of Gaya by the Turks in 1663. The oldest local seal comes from the time between 1668 and 1721, it shows the church in its shape before the renovation. In 1719 Johann Alexander Görtz had a small baroque palace built in place of the fortress. Ten years later the church was redesigned and enlarged in baroque style. Sigmund Nikolaus the Elder J. Görtz was over-indebted because of the payment made by his brothers Johann and Franz. When he then increased the compulsory labor and taxes of his subjects, there were various protests by the residents. Finally, in 1712 an uprising against Görtz broke out in Kostelec, which proceeded against it with the imposition of flogging sentences and the threat of exile to Hungary. After the rebelling subjects had filed a complaint with Bishop Wolfgang Hannibal von Schrattenbach on January 9, 1713 about the unchristian beatings, further physical abuse and the way Görtzen treated his subjects, the bishop called his liege to account. In 1731 Sigmund Nikolaus Görtz von Asten had to sell the Kostelec fiefdom to Armand Petřvaldský von Petřvald because of mismanagement. In 1737 he acquired the Žádovice estate . After Petřvaldský increased the obligations of the subjects and abolished old customs, there were protests of the residents of Žádovice and Kostelec at the feudal court Kroměříž in 1740. Blood jurisdiction over Kostelec was held by the hunting court at Buchlov Castle until 1748 . In the years 1764 to 1766 the fiefdom owner Johann Georg von Mühlendorf had the castle increased.

After the abolition of patrimonial Kostelec / Kosteletz formed from 1850 a community in the district administration of Gaya. After the abolition of the episcopal feudal system, the Kostelec estate was sold to the entrepreneur Hubert Klein , who immediately leased it. The last tenant of the estate was the owner of the Ždánice castle , Erwin Seidl , until 1945 . After the end of the Second World War, the Kostelec estate was confiscated and divided as German property. After the Okres Kyjov was abolished, Kostelec was assigned to the Okres Hodonín in 1960. Since 2001 the community has had a coat of arms and a banner. There are extensive vineyards in the vicinity of the village.

Attractions

• Church of St. Wenzel; the originally Romanesque building was built around 1230. In 1729 the church was extended to the west and redesigned in baroque style. For a long time it was considered the oldest brick building in Moravia and is said to have been built between 1030 and 1050. During the investigation of the ground, however, stonemason marks of the Velehrad construction works were found in the foundations , so that the church must have been built 200 years later than originally assumed. In 1989, the exposed walls of the old building core, a Romanesque window and a portal in the southern wall of the nave were uncovered.
• former Kostelec Castle; it was created in 1719 through the reconstruction of the old fortress and was extended by one floor between 1764 and 1766. After 1945 it served as a kindergarten, from 1948 as the center of the state tractor station , from 1953 as a wholesale warehouse and then as the headquarters and warehouse of the agricultural cooperative . In the 1970s and 1980s, the castle served as a production facility for electrical accessories and gloves, as well as a farm workers' home. From 1972 the kindergarten as well as the canteen of the local administration and the agricultural cooperative were housed in the building. After 1989 the castle was privatized and after various metalworking companies a repair shop for differential gears is located there today. The building lost its original appearance through modernization in the 20th century and eventually deteriorated. Today it is half repaired. Only the coat of arms of the Görtz von Asten family above the entrance remained.
• 500-year-old yew; opposite the castle
• Memorial stone for the resistance fighter Štěpán Kalivoda; on the village green
