history

Lhenice (1) .JPG

Lhenice was first mentioned in 1283 as the property of the Sancta Corona Monastery . After the destruction of the monastery by the Hussites in 1420, Ulrich II von Rosenberg received all of the monastery properties from Emperor Sigismund as pledge. In 1437 Sigismund pawned the villages of Lhenice, Újezdec, Vadkov and Vodice to the royal city of Tábor . In 1544 Lhenice was raised to the status of a town by Ferdinand I. The place was given the rights to carry a coat of arms, to seal with green wax and to hold an eight-day fair in St. Aegidia and a weekly market.

Because of the participation in the class uprising of 1547, the goods of the city of Tábor were confiscated and Lhenice with the villages of Újezdec, Vadkov and Vodice to the guardian of the children Josts III. von Rosenberg , Albrecht von Guttenstein auf Žirovnice , sold. After Wilhelm von Rosenberg had been declared of legal age in 1551, he received ownership. His brother and successor Peter Wok von Rosenberg had to Lhenice 1600 because of debt his accountant Martin Grejnar left of Veveří and Mysletín. After the Rosenberg Lhenice had triggered again in 1605, he assigned the town to the Libějovice rule . After Peter Wok's death in 1611, his nephew Johann Zrinski von Seryn Libějovice inherited. However, Zrinski died in 1612 and Peter von Schwanberg inherited him . He joined Libějovice to the Netolice dominion . As one of the leaders of the uprising of the estates, his property was confiscated after the battle of the White Mountain and the rule of Netolice was handed over to Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg in 1622 . When the male line of Eggenberg died out in 1717 , Lhenice fell to the Schwarzenbergs .

After the replacement of patrimonial Lhenice became an independent market town in the Prachiner district in 1848. In 1855 the place came to the newly established Netolice district, which was connected to the Prachatice district in 1868. Since 2006 Lhenice has been a Městys again .

Lhenice is surrounded by large cherry orchards. Because of the traditional fruit growing, the place was nicknamed the Garden of South Bohemia .
