The first written mention of the village took place in 1264. The family of Malowetz von Malovice is proven to have owned the estate since 1352.

Leo von Malowetz had been the owner of the estate since 1489, and on November 19, 1496, he reached a settlement with the city of Vodňany for compensation for the damage caused to the estate by the city. On July 27, 1562, his son Dionys von Malowetz sold the goods Libějovice, Malovice , Rábín , Nestanice and Skály for 300 Schock Meissen groschen to Wilhelm von Rosenberg , who had the old fortress rebuilt into a renaissance castle. He was followed in 1592 by his younger brother Peter Wok von Rosenberg , who was able to expand the estate in 1603 by buying the farms Blanička and Protivec with the villages of Blanička, Protivec, Šipoun and Truskovice for 7250 shock Czech groschen from Agnes Říčanský from Hoděgow and Dub .

Maria Magdalena von Buquoy bought the Čichtitz estate in 1651 and the Těšínov estate the following year. Philipp Emanuel von Bucquoy had the new castle built in 1696. Antonia Renata von Buquoy, née Czernin von und zu Chudenitz , sold the Čichtitz, Duben and Elexnitz estates in 1703 for 118 450 guilders to Rosa Angela von Buquoy, née von Harrach . In 1728 Karl Kajetan von Bucquoy bought the Duben and Čichtitz estates from his ward Franz Reysky von Dubenitz for 74,500 guilders and reunited them with Libiegitz . The lordship remained in the possession of the Longueval counts of Buquoy until the beginning of the 19th century . In the 1780s an institute for the poor was set up.

In 1801 Johann Joseph von Buquoy sold the property to Prince Joseph II zu Schwarzenberg , whom his son Johann Adolf II zu Schwarzenberg inherited in 1833.

The 63 m long and 27 m wide building with a house chapel served as the residence of the princes of Schwarzenberg and was surrounded by two orchards to the north and south. In the castle there was a collection of weapons, works of art, vases and cutlery. The property, which has been vacant since the 1990s, is now in a state of neglect, decay and vandalism.

Karl Philipp von Buquoy brought the carved wooden miraculous image of Our Lady of Foya with him from Spain. The construction work had to be stopped a little later because Philipp Emanuel had started building the church without church permission. After this was available in 1699, the work could be continued and the church was consecrated in 1704. The name of the builder has not been passed down; After the work had been ascribed to Johann Blasius Santini-Aichl in the past , the latest research suggests that the plans come from Philipp Emanuel von Buquoy himself.
