The place was first mentioned in a document in 1295 as the seat of the knight Wilhelm von Schönhof. His descendants, who called themselves Freimut von Schönhof, had their seat in a fortress at the Lower Mill on the Leska. At the beginning of the 16th century, Václav Pětipeský of Chýše had another, the Upper Fortress built. This was confiscated in 1547 for participating in the uprising and came to Johann the Elder. J. Kolowrat -Mastowsky, who had it converted into a renaissance castle. The Lower Feast of Freimut von Schönhof went out. In 1649 Hermann Czernin von Chudenitz acquired the Schönhof estate. Between 1719 and 1724 Franz Maximilian Kaňka redesigned the castle for Franz Josef Czernin von Chudenitz into a baroque building. In the years 1783 to 1793, a large English landscape park was built to the southwest of the castle park on behalf of Johann Rudolf Czernin von und zu Chudenitz . In 1810 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a guest of Johann Rudolf Count Czernin. The first school in the village was established in 1812. In 1828 334 people lived in Schönhof.

After the abolition of patrimonial Schönhof / Krásný Dvůr formed a political municipality in the Podersam district from 1850 . In 1881 the Austrian Local Railway Company started operating the line from Kaschitz to Schönhof, and in 1884 the line was continued to Radonitz . In 1921 Schönhof had 689 inhabitants, 92% of whom belonged to the German ethnic group. In 1923 a Czech minority school opened. In 1930 the community had 721 inhabitants.

After the Munich Agreement , Schönhof came to the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the Podersam district in the Reichsgau Sudetenland , Eger district . In 1939 there were 622 people in the community. After the end of the Second World War, the German population was expelled . The goods of Count Czernin von und zu Chudenitz were expropriated in 1945.
