history

On the basis of tradition, the chronicler Václav Hájek z Libočan and the humanist Jan Hodějovský z Hodějova assumed that Kraselov was founded in 816. According to a legend written down by Jan František Beckovský , Krasel, a wealthy man from the Písek region, moved with his retinue into the deep, uninhabited forests behind Strakonice and Volyně and built a fortified seat on the highest point around which the retinues built simple houses with their families. In 1882 the headmaster of Horaž Schulovice, Josef Hora, described Kraselov as one of the oldest places in the Prachin district, where there was once a small castle, the history of which is lost in legends and myths.

The first written mention of Kraselov took place in 1352. The fortress was the ancestral seat of the Kraselovský family from Kraselov. The village was built around the fortress and later expanded to the east. From the construction books there is evidence of a pastor in Krasylov since 1384 . In the 16th century the Krasylow estate belonged to Ezekiel Baubinsky von Augezd. After the Battle of White Mountain , Bohuslav Baubinsky von Augezd's property was confiscated for participating in the class uprising in 1618 . The court chamber sold the estate in 1623 to the cavalry general Wenzel Kautek Nečansky von Minitz. This sold Krasylow in 1628 to Adam Zaborsky von Brloh. The following owners were his son Wenzel Zaborsky, from 1637 his son Adam Johann Zaborsky and then Johann Florentin Brissigel. He sold it in 1669 to the married couple Heinrich and Maria Eleonora von Haugwitz . It was bought from the latter on October 10, 1679 by the Prague cathedral provost Johann Ignatz Freiherr Chanowsky Dlauhowesky von Langendorf. In 1681 he bought the village of Zahorčice from Christoph Malowetz von Malowitz , in 1697 from Bernard Wenzel von Wěžnik the manor Němčice and in 1699 from Adam Kotz von Dobrz the manor Hoděgow ( Hodějov ). During this time, Chanowsky moved the seat of his property administration from the Krasylow fortress to Němčice, where he had the fortress transformed into an early Baroque residence. On January 10, 1701, he finally united in his will the goods Němčice and Hoděgow with the Krasylow estate to form a Fideikommiss for his nephew Adam Joseph Freiherr Chanowsky Krasylowsky Dlauhowesky von Langendorf. When house numbering was introduced in 1770, Krasylov consisted of 21 chalets. After the death of Adam Joseph Chanowsky, who died in 1814 without male descendants, the entails fell to his brother Johann Felix Chanowsky. He was followed by Johann Heinrich Chanowsky from 1730, Johann Joseph Chanowsky from 1731, his son Johann Karl Vincenz Chanowsky from 1793 and his son Franz Xaver Chanowsky from 1833.

In 1840 the Krasilau estate had 507 subjects and included the villages of Krasilau, Lhota St. Anna ( Lhota u Svaté Anny ) and Miltschitz ( Milčice ) as well as 13 houses from Straschitz , eight houses from Zwotok , three houses from Skrobočow ( Škrobočov ) and two Houses of Mladotice ( Mladotice ). The lordship managed two farms in Lhota St. Anna and Krasilau, a sheep farm in Krasilau and the Krasilau forest district. The village of Krasilau / Krasylow consisted of 46 houses with 298 inhabitants, including three Israelite families. The parish church of St. Laurenz, the parish and a school. In the village there was also an old, uninhabited castle, a farm, a sheep farm and an inn.

Until the middle of the 19th century, Krasilau remained subject to Fideikommissgut Niemtschitz and Krasilau.
