Archaeological finds show a Celtic settlement in the area during the late Hallstatt and Latène periods . On the Věnec was between the 5th century BC BC and the 1st century a castle site.

The first written mention of the place took place in 1321 in connection with Sbraslao de Ebizouiz (Zbraslav ze Lčovic) . The seat of the Lčovice lords was a Gothic fortress, which was located on the site of the chateau. After Lčovice to the Bohemian crown home like was belehnte Charles IV. In 1360 Boček of Velhartice with the rule. In 1397 Jan von Lčovice was mentioned as a burgrave on Strakonice , but the owners of the Lčovice estate were already the Vladiken von Čestice at that time . With Přech von Čestice, the Vladiken family died out in the male line at the beginning of the 17th century. His daughter Johanna and her husband Bernhard Hodejowsky von Hodiegow (Hodĕjovský z Hodĕjova) became the heiress of the Lčovice and Čestice estates, and they transformed the fortress into a Renaissance chateau. Bernhard Hodejowsky and his brother Johann Georg fell during the class uprising. After the Battle of White Mountain , the possessions of the brothers Adam Bernhard and Bohuslaw Hodejowsky on Eltschowitz and Chotietitz were confiscated. The Bohemian Chamber sold Eltschowitz on December 6, 1622 for 21,000 Meißnish shock to the imperial field master and treasurer Heinrich Michael Hießerle von Codaw (Jindřich Michal Hýzrle z Chodů) .

In 1805 Franz von Sickingen sold Eltschowitz to Joseph Anton Baumbas, but bought the manor back the following year. At the land law auction of the Černietitz (Černětice) estate with Zalesl , he acquired the Zalesl estate and also connected it to Eltschowitz. Franz von Sickingen lost the allodial property Čkin in 1808 to the state advocate Karl Klaudi. In 1809 he sold the allodial property Neu Skalitz to Wenzel Mallowetz von Cheynow .

The village of Eltschowitz or Elschowitz / Lčowice , located between Wolinka and Passauer Strasse, consisted of 46 houses with 364 inhabitants, including an Israelite family.
